gcc exceptions

Hi everybody,

My problem is somehow strange. I use qt sdk 2010.01 with mingw which includes gcc 4.4.0

I use some code like this

Code:

---

try
{
   //call function that throws std::logic_exception("error");
}
catch (const std::logic_exception & ex)
{
  //handle exception here
}

---

Piece a cake? Sure! It's just that gcc terminates the app, exception is never handled.
I tried a

Code:

---

catch(...)

---

, doesn''t work either

How is this supposed to work in gcc?????? Is there some special compiler flag to enable this??


Thanks a million
Chris
