CPP11 — C++: ostream insertion

Open Closed All
  • Key: CPP11-256
  • Legacy Issue Number: 3165
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: UBS ( Hans Kneubuehl)
  • Summary:

    Many ORBs provide ostream insertion for exceptions as an extension to C++
    mapping. Typically, applications are required to use them (there is not really
    a usable alternative) to write code in the following style:

    try

    { // do some operations }

    catch (CORBA::Exception & ex)

    { cerr << "some operation failed: " << ex << endl; }

    This breaks portability as not all ORBs provide the functionality in the same
    way. Therefore ostream insertion should be part of the standard.
