That would be great. How do we ensure that the above is true?

I just want to find out what is the right thing to do
in catch(...) clauses? Part of my job is concerned
with controlling s/w and it is important to figure out
what to do in cases like this. (no matter how
positive you want to be:)). It seems that basic guarantees
can be of a big help here, but the evil is in details.
The task becomes more complicated because some
of the libraries including boost libraries
would just throw undefined exceptions with 'throw;'.
