//

#include <stdexcept>
static void f() { throw runtime_error("a runtime error"); }
int main ()
{
//
// By wrapping the body of main in a try-catch block we can
// be assured that we'll catch all exceptions in the
// exception hierarchy. You can simply catch exception as is
// done below, or you can catch each of the exceptions in
// which you have an interest.
//
try
{
f();
}

cout << "Got an exception: " << e.what() << endl;
