Uh... Actually you're right :)

I dunno... I think you might be able to do something like this:

template<typename E>
void my_throw_exception(E& exc) {
    //do the backtrace() dance and store the results somewhere in exc
    throw exc;
}

But that's a bit cumbersome.

(PS: Division by zero doesn't throw a C++ exception)
