While I am in rant mode the catch(...) thing is also a very bad
idea
in VC. This currently catches (this will be fixed in 8.0) structured exception that are not C++ exception. That way serious error conditions are silently ignored.
See http://www.boost.org/more/error_handling.html for a workaround.
Thanks David, I've discussed this issue several times with the MS guys. But noone came up with that workaround. From my first tests this works just fine. Thanks! -hg
