Sorry, I cannot resist:

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,

Oh, and for anybody else wondering why I am laughing, the "try{} catch{}
structure", correctly called exception handling, has been around for much
longer (since the mid-1980s) than he claims to have been a programming
(since 1989).  Visual C++ as well as g++ (the gcc C++ compiler) have
supported exception handling for as long as they have supported C++.  And
exception handling has been mentioned in any C++ book in the last decade.
Very hard to miss for anybody who has ever written a single line of C++
code!

Thus, there is no longer any doubt that he is just a troll who has wasted
our time in the past few days :-(

q.e.d.


So, I have to apologise to every serious visitor around for having fed this
troll for such a long time!  Seriously!  I should have just really killfiled
him, not just said so.  Sorry!
