I trust that you are aware of the following quoted, from MSDN for all
Microsoft C++ compilers

"
As can be seen in the Visual C++ source file, uncaught.cpp,
uncaught_exception always returns false even in cases where the standard
specifies that it should return true.

See Knowledge Base article Q242192 for more information.

No, it is not always safe, but the unsafe stuff happens if you use it in
a
destructor; not very
likely. Sutter has an article about it.
