Nor will you, since each thread has it's own stack.

Someone how can read please help me.

You can't throw an exception in one thread and catch it in another.

I have had problems when the software if difficult to test (compile-run-debug cycle is long) and I used inheritence with exceptions and I end up trying to catch something that happens to be the wrong type and it wastes my time.

The solution is to either code for your projected cycle, or make sure you are throwing what you think you are throwing.

That's not entirely correct. On Windows the final handler in the main thread of the process gets a crack at all unhandled exceptions. If it doesn't handle the exception, then the OS will handle it with the familiar program failure dialog box.

@Leadorn, I'm not well versed enough with C++ exceptions to properly answer your question. When I've had code that was supposed to catch exceptions but didn't, it was because the exceptions were floating point exceptions and the cpu was set to suppress fpu exceptions.
