make certain that you're using the right ones! Here are quickie
descriptions of <code>new</code>:
<h2><a name="4">Verbose <code>terminate</code></a></h2>
<p>If you are having difficulty with uncaught exceptions and want a
little bit of help debugging the causes of the core dumps, you can
make use of a GNU extension in GCC 3.1 and later:
</p>
<pre>
#include &lt;exception&gt;
int main()
{
std::set_terminate(__gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler);
...
throw <em>anything</em>;
}</pre>
<p>The <code> __verbose_terminate_handler </code> function obtains the name
of the current exception, attempts to demangle it, and prints it to
stderr. If the exception is derived from <code> std::exception </code>
then the output from <code>what()</code> will be included.
</p>
<p>Any replacement termination function is required to kill the program
without returning; this one calls abort.
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>
<pre>
#include &lt;exception&gt;
#include &lt;stdexcept&gt;
struct argument_error : public std::runtime_error
{
argument_error(const std::string& s): std::runtime_error(s) { }
};
int main(int argc)
{
std::set_terminate(__gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler);
if (argc &gt; 5)
throw argument_error(&quot;argc is greater than 5!&quot;);
else
throw argc;
}
</pre>
<p>In GCC 3.1 and later, this gives
</p>
<pre>
% ./a.out
terminate called after throwing a `int'
Aborted
% ./a.out f f f f f f f f f f f
terminate called after throwing an instance of `argument_error'
what(): argc is greater than 5!
Aborted
%</pre>
<p>The 'Aborted' line comes from the call to abort(), of course.
</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> Starting with GCC 3.4, this is the default
termination handler; nothing need be done to use it. To go back to
the previous &quot;silent death&quot; method, simply include
<code>&lt;exception&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;cstdlib&gt;</code>,
