Re: Shared library throws exception but not caught

I am sure that exception is being thrown. I have written the function
to throw the exception. Here is the code snippet from the library:

static bool DataClass::GetEvent(int id) const {
    if (myEventType->id != id) {
        throw std::logic_error(boost::str(boost::format("No such event
type id (%1%)") % id));
    }
    else {
        return true;
    }
}

My catch block in the main program is like:

try {
if(DataClass::GetEvent(Id))
   std::cout << "\n ENABLED \n";
else
   std::cout << "\n DISABLED \n";
}
catch(std::logic_error& e) {
   std::cout<< "\n Exception caught = " << e.what();
}

When I put the catch block inside the library I do catch the
exception, it is only when I put it in the main program (outside the
library), that's when I fail to catch the exception.

Thanks,
