Exception not caught in try catch block

Question

I do a simple throw \"TEST THROW\" and it isn\'t caught in my catch (std::exception& e). Is it because I\'m catching an std::exception& e?

Answer 1

Since this is not a MCVE (what is Core?), I can't address explicitly the problem, but you are surely missing to

#include 

Actually, GCC compiles even without the inclusion, but exception won't be caught and you will end up with

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::exception'

what(): std::exception

./{program}: {PID} Aborted (core dumped)
