Hi,
I am c++ standard exceptions like out_of_range, but want it to have
some nonascii message. However what returns a char* and the class is
not templated.
Do I need to write my own exception class for this purpose?
Same problem I am facing with fstream. The open function is
non-templated and takes a char* as file name. The file is always ascii,
thus no wstream is needed, but the file-name sometime contains
non-ascii character.
Thanks

Yes.
It's probably a good idea to write your own exception hierarchy anyway.
The standard exceptions are way to broad to be useful in real programs.

This one comes up pretty often. I think it should be a FAQ. Basically,
you have to convert from wide to narrow characters yourself. Some
compilers have a templated constructor as an extension, but the
standard C++ version doesn't. I'm not sure whether the standards
comittee intends to fix this or not.

In C++0x, file streams will have overloaded constructors and open()
member functions. One overload will take a const char* and the other
will take a const string&.

I think UTF-8 has been designed to serve this purpose, as extension of
ASCII which needs only 8-bit chars to work. You should not need to do
anything special, if UTF-8 is supported on your platform. The same
holds for filenames.

Thanks. I will use my own exception hierarchy, not inheriting from
std::exception.

At present I am converting it using current locale. But looks it is not
always possible to have such conversion.

I don't know what the "non-ASCII character file name problem is." If
your OS uses a character encoding other than ASCII, presumably your
compiler supports it, as well. That's not a standards issue.

I am writing a simulation package in C++, and so far I've written about

exceptions so far (for various reasons). The only two "resources" I use
are memory and file I/O and whenever there is a memory allocation
failure or file I/O failure I just simply call a custom assert-type
function to check, print a error message and abort. This seems to be OK

I am wondering if there are some best practices for determining a strategy
for using try/catch blocks within an application.
My current thoughts are:
1. The code the initiates any high-level user tasks should always be
included in a try/catch block that actually handles any exceptions that
occur (log the exception, display a message box, etc.).
2. Low-level operations that are used to carry out the high level tasks

Hi Folks!
I was pondering over a code and noticed that exception handlers were
present in the private, protected as well as public methods. And,
ofcourse, public methods were calling priv/prot methods internally.
My thought was, the exception is being rethrown and propagated by the
non-public methods to the public methods, causing performance overhead
(stack winding etc).
I do agree that, the purpose of throwing the exception by...
