Oh blast. Thank you for confirming that.

As a general rule of thumb, if you didn't compile it yourself, you probably can't throw through it.
Try catching all throws at as low a level as possible without going back into AppKit, like this:


	Our c++ code			- throw occurs here.
	Our c++ code
	Our c++ code 			- try catching here
	App Kit / Foundation
	App Kit / Foundation
	App Kit / Foundation
	App Kit / Foundation
	Our handler
	App Kit / Foundation
	App Kit / Foundation
	Root of the stack

And then post some sort of notification so the run-loop can know what's going on.

*nods*

Can you see a nice way of achieving this, that avoids adding try catch blocks in lots of places (I imagine there are many points where our code is invoked by a caller that doesn't allow exceptions to pass through it)? As an example, perhaps we could patch the objective c message dispatcher to ensure calls to our code are wrapped in a try catch block.

Cheers,
