//Can we throw exception from destructor
//yes we can but its not advisable to do this
//Why
//Bcoz may be some other function make an object of this class on stack in try block
//and in that try block if exception generated then its unstable state and programme
// be go in abort
//Like here no issue in simple case
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class A
{
public:
~A()
{
try
{
cout<<"\nA's dest called\n";
throw 10;
}
catch(...)
{
}
};
};
void OtherFunWithLeadAbort()
{
try
{
A a;
throw 10;
}
catch(...)
{
cout<<"\nException handler here but it not reach here and abort called\n";
}
}
int main()
{
try
{
A b;
}
catch(...)
{
cout<<"\nException handled\n";
}
cout<<"\nAfter b.fun()\n";
OtherFunWithLeadAbort();
return 0;
}
Output:-
A's dest called
After b.fun()
A's dest called
Exception handler here but it not reach here and abort called
