Re: Rethrowing an Exception -- Core Dump

I am trying to overcome the following hurdle. We have several
exception types, derived from a "BaseException" type.

Lets say SpecialException inherits from BaseException.

Lets say a SpecialException is thrown, and handled by try/catch that
is catching "BaseException".

If I retry to throw this exception, I get a core dump.

Here is a short program I wrote to show the error point:

#include <string>
using namespace std;

class BaseException {};

class SpecialException : public BaseException {};

int main()
{
   try
   {
SpecialException lSpecialException;
throw lSpecialException;
   }
   catch (BaseException ipBaseException)
   {
throw;
   }
}

The core dump I get looks like this:

#0 0xb73eac0f in raise () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6
#1 0xb73ec415 in abort () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6
#2 0xb75b1527 in __cxa_call_unexpected () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.
5
#3 0xb75b1574 in std::terminate () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
#4 0xb75b174c in __cxa_rethrow () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
#5 0x0804869f in main ()
(gdb)

Anything I can do to overcome this hurdle, without explicitly handling
all the sub exception types?
