Hello Zhou,

Exception handling is supported limitedly in Cint. I do not 
recommend using it unless you have really strong reason and
meet following conditions.

 - Compile Cint with G__STD_EXCEPTION macro
 - stl/exception.dll is successfully created at Cint installation
 - Exception mostly handled in compiled code (try/catch/throw)
 - Interpreter only catchs uncaught exception at command prompt
 - If exception is handled in interpreted code, it has to be as simple
   as possible and not performance critical.

You also need to consider Root class implementation for suitability.

Thank you
Masaharu Goto
