If you turn on the Enable C++ Exceptions options in the C/C++ Language Panel, you may use the try and catch statements to perform exception handling. For more information on activating support for C++ exception handling, see "Controlling Exception Handling."

If exceptions are enabled, you can throw exceptions across any code that's compiled by the CodeWarrior C/C++ compiler. You cannot throw exceptions across the following:

• Mac OS Toolbox function calls
• Libraries compiled with exception support turned off
• Libraries compiled with versions of the CodeWarrior C/C++ compiler earlier than CodeWarrior 8
• Libraries compiled with CodeWarrior Pascal or other compilers

If you throw an exception when you're allocating a class object or an array of class objects, the code automatically destructs the partially constructed objects and de-allocates the memory for them.
