exception not caught

[Philipp Kraus]

Hello,

I'm useing g++ under Cygwin. In my code (main function) I would like to 
catch thrown exceptions with try {} catch (...) { error handling }, but 
it does not work. I use in a class external C code and on a method I 
throw an exception. The exception is be thrown but not be caught. The 
same code is running under g++ on Linux and OSX very well and the 
exception is be caught, but not under Cygwin. The message that is 
shown: terminate called after throwing an instance of [...] terminate 
called recursively

The g++ version on Cygwin is 4.3.4 20090804 (release) 1. All libraries, 
that I use, are compiled with the same g++ / gcc / gfortran within 
Cygwin. I've found some information
about the -fexceptions flag, but it seems it is always enabled. Do I 
need some other compiler / linker flags for compiling the source / 
libraries, that create the same behavier
than under Linux and OSX? I would like to catch the exception only and 
do a exception handling

Thanks

Phil
