Hallo,

VA_X.dll file version 10.3.1540.0 built 2006.10.27
VAOpsWin.dll version 1.3.3.7
VATE.dll version 1.0.5.9
DevEnv.exe version 7.10.6030.0
msenv.dll version 7.10.6030.0
Font: Courier New 11(Pixels)
Comctl32.dll version 5.82.2900.2982
Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2
2 processors

With this code

void tst()
try{
}catch(...){
}

I see in the "List Methods in File" (Alt+M) two methods:
catch(..)
tst()

If this code is not inside a function then I see the same thing. Change the code to:

void tst()
{
    try{
    }catch(...){
    }
}

and the problem goes away.

A try / catch block outside of a function does not compile, which helps explain why VA does not understand this.

Sorry, feline. The code that Babak posted is valid C++. Try this:

void myFunc( int z )
try { int x = 1; }
catch (...)
{
// body of function
}

I remember there being a bug already reported on this. I no longer have access to the bug database, so I can't look for it.

I did not know you could do that. It seems I learn something new about C++ every week

I did try and compile the original code, just to make sure, but that does not compile. Your version does compile quite happily.

In your defense, feline, function try blocks aren't used very much. It is mostly used with constructors.
