exception handling problem in xcode

Hi,

I am facing a problem with exception handling code in Xcode. I have
code like following:


typedef short EXCPTN;
void my_func()
{

try
{

A(); // Inside this function a exception of type EXCPTN is thrown;
}
catch( EXCPTN ex)
{
//handling code here, doesn't get hit.
}
catch(...)
{
//handling code here. doesn't get hit.
}
}


As soon as the exception is thrown inside method A(), the application
gets terminated. Essentially it doesn't come to the handler which I
have written here. The same piece of code works fine using Visual
Studio 2005. I am building it with -fexceptions compiler option. I
tried to remove -fvisibility=hidden, which is on by default, even that
did not help.

The Xcode version: 2.3, using GCC: 4.0.

Has anyone faced this problem or have some idea about what to do here?

Thanks.
GJ
