As I understand it, an object is only considered constructed when its
constructor has finished, so that an exception thrown from within that
constructor will not result in that object's destructor being
called. (Its completely constructed subobjects will be however).

What about the destructor? Is the object considered destructed when
the destructor is *entered*, or when it *completes*?

struct foo : public other
{
    ~foo {throw("BAD?");}
};

Since the above does not result in an infinite loop on the compilers I
have access to, I presume that the object is considered destructed
when the dtor is entered.

Questions:

Is this correct? Is it done this way to ensure in fact that infinite
loops like the above won't happen? How do resources in "other" get
released?

Thanks! -

Brian
