We had written an application in which we create worker thread.



So the main thread will create the worker thread. After some time

the child thread(Worker thread) will call pthread_exit().

This function was written in try{} and there occured an Exception
and is handled in catch(...) handler.



Can any one tell me the reason why the exception occured.



This is on Linux platform. Fedora Core 6 and gcc 4.1





The Implementation of the code is as follows:

This is a simple form of our application, Try to run this small piece

of code.



The output of this is " FATAL: exception not rethrown

Inside catch... Aborted"



#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <stdexcept.h>

#include <pthread.h>



using namespace std;



void print_message_function( void *ptr );

int main()

{

pthread_t thread1;

char *message1 = "Thread 1";

int iret1;



iret1 = pthread_create( &thread1, NULL, (void*(*)(void*))&print_message_function, (void*) message1);



pthread_join( thread1, NULL);





}



void print_message_function( void *ptr )

{

char *message;

message = (char *) ptr;



try

{

pthread_exit((void*) 1);

}

catch(...)

{

printf("Inside catch...\n");

}

}


Can any one tell me the reason why the exception occured?
