Catching MySQL exception in POCO C++

[chockablock]

Hi all,
I'm currently using MySQL libraries compiled using POCO C++. I encountered a problem: I couldn't catch any exception thrown by the library. Therefore, the program is always terminated without any message printed out the console, even I tried to catch Poco::Exception or std::exception. Anyone knows how to fix this issue? Below is a sample code fragment I used

Code: Select all

try
   {
                //get a session from session pool.
      Session _session = (*sessionPool).get();
      return _session ;
   }
   catch (SessionPoolExhaustedException spee)
   {
      cout << "Session pool exhausted";
   }
        catch (Exception& pocoEx)
       {
      cout << "POCO exception";
       }
   catch (exception ex)
   {
      cout << "Exception";
   }

I would catch by reference. That code you showed is catching by value. See Meyers for why programs should always throw by value and catch by reference.
