Re: Exception Destructor on new

Hi,

 I am learning C++ and need export advice on the below program.
 I have read it that whenever a exception is genrated and control
enteres the catch block it will call destructors for all the
successfuly completed constructors. But in the below case
i am doing :-
       base *ptr=new base;
       throw 44;
 But the destructor for base is not called once it enters the catch
block. Please let me know why it is so and how to come out of it.

#include<iostream>
#include<exception>
using namespace std;
class base
{
   public:
       base() { cout<<"Constructor"<<endl; }
       ~base() { cout<<"Destructor"<<endl; }
};
int main()
{
   try {
       base *ptr=new base;
       throw 44;
   }catch(...) { // I am
expecting base destructor to be called here
       cout<<" Inside catch"<<endl; // But it is not
   }
}
