Exception types thrown by delete?

[Dill Hole]

What type of exceptions can delete throw? I am catching the exception
with (...) but I would like to know the explicit exception to catch.

TIA

operator delete doesn't throw exceptions by itself. But a
deleted object's destructor may throw an exception, even
though that practice is generally regarded as unsound.

There is a possibility that you're using Visual C++ where
catch(...) catches both C++ exceptions and native Windows
exceptions (SEH exceptions).

The best course of action is to correct the bug instead of
catching the exception.

I suggest you use a debugger.
