FW: Exception catching across a call to ProcessLineFast

Dear RootTalk,

Is there a limitation on ProcessLineFast that prevents code from catching an exception thrown from code called via ProcessLineFast?

i.e.

  try { gROOT->ProcessLineFast("MyFunction()"); }   catch(object-thrown-by-MyFunction) { ...}

and if not, can anyone see what's wrong with the attached macro where the catch works fine for a direct call but fails when the call goes via ProcessLineFast.

Note I am using ACliC; I am not expecting exception handling to be handled within CINT.

I am running Scientific Linux SL Release 3.0.4 (SL)

             gcc version 3.2.3 2

With ROOT 4.04/02 build 12 September 2005

• the failing catch terminates the program.

With ROOT 5.08/00 build 13 December 2005

• the failing catch reports:-

  Error: C++ exception caught :0:

and ROOT recovers but I have lost the exception information.

Thanks,

Nick West
