I can not compile simple C++ programs which contain exceptions,
such as described in appendix B of the Lippman book (2nd edition).
I have tried with gcc 2.2.2 and 2.3.3 on a SunOS 4.1.2 machine.
Try does not seem to be a key word, nor does throw.
Should this work?  I thought gcc 2.x supported templates and
exceptions...

GNU C++ does support templates, but it does not (yet) support
ANSI-style exceptions.  Cygnus Support is targeting a June date for
the release of a version which supports exceptions.

It is a fair amount of work to implement this feature, and if you keep
up to date on the bug-fixing we've been doing at Cygnus, you know that
it's a fair amount of work just supporting GNU C++ users who report
bugs to the net.  I encourage people who wish to use GNU C++
commercially to contact Cygnus Support (info@cygnus.com) for
information about our commercial support services for GNU C++ and
other GNU software.  It is our customers who enable us to maintain GNU
C++ as a viable (and friendly) alternative to proprietary software.

Cygnus sent me (via email) the answer to my question.  Basically, gcc 2.x 
supports templates now, but will not support exceptions until later.  They 
are trying for June.
