1. can you throw without a try/catch block - is this legal?
Of course, that's the point. Otherwise, there would hardly be a
difference between an exception and a simple goto statement.
2. if you can, why am I getting a warning at those throw statements.
How are we supposed to know? You didn't tell us what the warning says.
{ quoted banner removed. DON'T quote extraneous material. tia., -mod }
I did tell,
The warning says, - "Will never be executed "
Another example is a place like this...
if (ret==NULL)
{
throw new std::runtime_error("Could not start/reset timer"); <--
why?
}
my guess is that the compiler has determined that ret could never be
NULL.
Also, don't throw a pointer.
throw std::runtime_eror("could not start/reset timer");
