I tried to use exceptions with the following small piece of code. It compiles without problems (gcc 2.8.1). #include <iostream> #include <new> int main() { char * p; try { p = new char[0xFFFFFFF]; } catch (bad_alloc& f) { cerr << "wrong: " << f.what() << endl; } return 0; } Running the program gives the output: Virtual memory exceeded in `new' Of course this is correct but the line is not generated in the catch block. What happens? What I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your help. ps: If I throw an exception by myself in some function then all seems to work fine.
