Thorsten I trust that you are aware of the following quoted, from MSDN for all Microsoft C++ compilers " As can be seen in the Visual C++ source file, uncaught.cpp, uncaught_exception always returns false even in cases where the standard specifies that it should return true.

4. ~fixed_size_assigner This method may throw an exception. Does it always safe to rely on uncaught_exception call?
No, it is not always safe, but the unsafe stuff happens if you use it in a destructor; not very likely. Sutter has an article about it. [snip]
