CPPUNIT_ASSERT_THROW() for BorlandC++Builder

[YanS]

Hi.

(A Newbie quesion)

I have been using CPPUnit (Version 1.11.4) for Borland C++ Builder 6.0.

Everything appears to work, except for the helper macro CPPUNIT_ASSERT_THROW(). I am not exactly sure what to put for the second parameter, ExceptionType. A sample given in the document:

std::vector<int> v;
CPPUNIT_ASSERT_THROW( v.at( 50 ),std::out_of_range    );

works fine. But if I try:

CPPUNIT_ASSERT_THROW(1/0, MathException);

to see if Division by 0 is verified, Compiler complains. I am not sure exactly what to put for this "division by 0" exception type for Borland C++ Builder, the second parameter of CPPUNIT_ASSERT_THROW macro.

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers,

Yan

Can you please post the compiler error that you are getting?

Thanks.

Thank you for your willingness to help, Codeguru.

When I put the following:
CPPUNIT_ASSERT_THROW( 1/0,EDivByZero);
CPPUNIT_ASSERT_THROW( 1/0,MathException);

I get

[C++ Error] Cookbook.cpp(46): E2377 Catch statement missing )
[C++ Error] Cookbook.cpp(47): E2377 Catch statement missing )

for both statements.

I am putting the all the error messages (including warnings) just in case. Again, there are some warning messages but I am able to use CPPUNIT_ASSERT() helper macros without any problems so they don't seem to be causing any problems...

Thanks again,

- Yan
