exception specification

[Tony Johansson]

Hello!

In this overloaded index operator I have just add this throw() in the header
just to check what happen when an exception is thrown.
This throw() in the header should means that this method should not throw
anything.
But the strange thing is that I don't get any error when this user defined
exception MyOutOfRange is throw.
Can anybody explain that to me?

int& operator[](int i) throw() ; //Here is the declaration

int& Intvektor:perator[](int i) throw()
{
if (i >= size || i < 0)
throw MyOutOfRange("Intvektor:: Positionering som ligger utanför
giltigt område\n");
return array;
}

You mean, you get no runtime error? Then you are probably using a
Microsoft compiler. MS decided to not fully support the C++ Standard
WRT exception specifications.

What does WRT mean?
