OK, blunt point. the standard is (insert favorite expletive or "in error") if it allows use of std::runtime_error to terminate the program due to low memory situations (run out of memory (due to copying) during stack unwinding).

It does not allow such a thing.

No? It seemed to me that it does, for perversely low QOI implementations. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
