- Subject: Throwing c++ exception across threads
Hello! I'm developing a simple IRC bot using the cygwin tools. It
actually comes with a GUI and I'm writing it using Win32. I don't
compile it with -mno-cygwin, because it's using cygwin sockets and pthreads.
When the user of the program connects to an irc server a thread is
spawned that handles communication with the irc server. Any messages are
displayed in an editbox. If a severe error occurs, an exception is
thrown. Will there be any problems if I catch these exceptions in the
main thread? The things is that the connection code may cause an
exception and I want to run that in the connection thread so the UI
doesn't freeze while it's waiting for an connection attempt to time-out
for instance.
