I have the following code in which dbh constructor may throw exception. The question I have is, dbh is declared inside try block. Will it be available after the catch? If yes, are there any other exceptions where the scope resolution is different than {} ? If not, what is the best design alternative?
status func(const char* field, char** value)
{
try {
dbhandler<recType> dbh(("dbName"),("table"));
}
catch (std::runtime_error &e) {
LOG_ERR << e.what() << endl ;
return false;
}
catch (...) {
LOG_ERR << "Unknown exception" << endl ;
return false;
}
rc = dbh.start("key",field, val);
return rc;
}
