How to catch system-level exceptions in Linux

The following C++ program doesn't catch the exception:

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

 

int main()

{

    try

    {

        int i = 0;

        int j = 1;

        int k = j/i;

    }

    catch(...)

    {

        cout << "exception" << endl;

    }

    return 0;

}

After compiled and run, it gives

Floating Point Exception

rather than

exception

Signals can be used to handle this divide-by-zero exception, but will that work for all other system-level exceptions? I just want a simple method to make catch() work. Thanks.

I'd suggest using the Report button to ask the Mods to move this to the Programming forum, although you may well get an answer here...
