Of course you cannot portably pass all exceptions, but you may be able to pass all the ones that use standard types.
And what if the std library or somebody else throws exceptions *derived* from the standard types? If it is not a recognized corba exception what the ACE TAO does is eat it with a catch(...) and then throws a corba system exception on

yes, so all exceptions that are allowed to pass have to be explicitely declared as such. If it is not declared, a special standard exception will be thrown (or may be something equivalent to 'unexpected'). If it is derived from a declared one, it will be sliced.
Is everyone convinced that propagating the exception into the joining thread is the right behavior or even semantically sensible? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
