Set_terminate

[Alby94]

The program call myterminate and std::terminate..
why?

#include <iostream>       
#include <exception>      

void myterminate () {
  std::cerr << "termninate called\n";
  throw 0;     
}

int main (void) {
  std::set_terminate(myterminate);
  try 
  {
    throw 'x';
  }
  catch (int) { std::cerr << "caught int\n"; }
  system("pause");
}

You are throwing a char and and there is only a catch for an int.
This works. http://ideone.com/PdHHuo

#include <iostream>       
#include <exception>      

void myterminate () {
  std::cerr << "termninate called\n";
  throw 0;     
}

int main (void) {
  std::set_terminate(myterminate);
  try 
  {
    throw 'x';
  }
  catch (char) { std::cerr << "caught char\n"; }
}

The function shall terminate execution of the program without returning to the caller.
Notice that if f is a function that does not implement the proper functionality it causes undefined behavior.

Ah ok, while unexpected returns to the caller .. ok thank you so much now I understand =)
