the code can be download from
http://examples.oreilly.com/9780596007614/
that mean it was tested success in some platform(vc++ in xp), so
please help, thanks a lot in advance, Eric


Try:

...
   } catch(exception& e) { // out_of_range if it's inval=

id

...

Thanks both Lajos and Mike Doubez's suggestions , and it can compile
now by following your suggestion
but, it did not run as expected
-----------
eric@eric-laptop:~/cppcookbook/ch4$ g++ Example4-7.cpp
eric@eric-laptop:~/cppcookbook/ch4$ ./a.out
Segmentation fault
---------------------------------------------------------
Do you know why it didn't go through the catch of my program rather
than through compiler(or operationSystem)'s?
Thanks your help a lot in advance, Eric


carr[100000] may be too far off. Try with carr[10] and v.at(10).

regards,
Lajos
