Installation

Unpack the Exception_[VERSION].tar and

• ./configure
• make
• make install

To list all available configure options type

• ./configure --help

To clean all build files type

• make clean

To uninstall libexception type

• make uninstall

By default, make install will install libexception to /usr/local/lib and the Exception header to /usr/local/include. To install the library and header to /home/foobar/libtest type:

• ./configure --prefix=/home/foobar/libtest

this will result in /home/foobar/libtest/lib/libexception.* and /home/foobar/libtest/include/Exception

If youre done with coding and you are about to compile your program using the Exception class you have to link the exception library via

• -lexception

Example

File: test.cpp

 #include <iostream>
 #include <string>
 #include <Exception>

 class foo {
    public:
    void bar(void) throw(Exception) {
        std::cout << "In bar" << std::endl;
        throw Exception("Running into some serious exception");
    };
 };

 int main() {
    foo *a = new foo();
    try {
        a->bar();
    } catch(Exception &obj) {
        obj.printStacktrace();
    }
    return(1);
 }

Compile the example prog via

• g++ test.cpp -lexception -o test
