SYMPTOMS

An attempt to compile code that defines the exception handling mechanism in a
function that takes a class argument by value, causes the compiler to generate
the following error message:

  'd:\b_bld\c2.m2\P2\main.c', line 374)

RESOLUTION
==========

Pass class A by reference instead of by value in the Func call in the sample
code in this article.

STATUS
======
