catch(…) is not catching an exception, my program is still crashing

Question

I\'m having a problem with a tester that my application crashes in initialization. I added more logging and exception handling but it still crashes with the generic \"this progr

Answer 1

So far I know, there can be at least two situations where catch(...) cannot actually catch

1. More than 1 unhandled Exception: when an exception is raised before a previously occurred exception is handled, then c++ can not handle it, and application will crash.
2. Throwing exception that is not in exception specification list: if any method throws an exception which is not in the exception specification list (in any) then unexpected will be called which calls abort.
