Hi,
I'm running Tornado 2.0, gnu C++, 860 PowerQuicc Target and I get the 
following error:


ccppc -g -O0 -mcpu=860 -ansi -nostdinc -DRW_MULTI_THREAD -D_REENTRANT

make: *** [statusMonitorTask.o] Error 0x1


with the following code:

statusMonitorTask::statusMonitorTask(char*    name,
                                     int      priority,
                                     int      options,
                                     int      stacksize,
                                     unsigned ntrunks,
                                     VXWPipe* pipe,
                                     VXWBSem* sem) : baeVxwTask(name, 
                                                                               
      priority, 
                                                                               
      options, 
                                                                               
      stacksize)
{
   // store data members
   m_trunks = ntrunks;
   m_pipe   = pipe;
   m_sem    = sem;

   // initialise global reference for timerDemux()
   g_smTask = this;

   try
   {
      m_frameSync  = new bool[ntrunks];
      m_signalSync = new bool[ntrunks];
      m_frameWds   = new VXWWd[ntrunks];
      m_signalWds  = new VXWWd[ntrunks];
   }
   catch(std::bad_alloc ba)
   {
      throw "statusMonitorTask::statusMonitorTask - creation failed";
   }

   // the state of each trunk is initially out of sync
   for (int t = 0; t < ntrunks; t++)
   {
      m_frameSync[t]  = false;
      m_signalSync[t] = false;
   }
}

If I replace the catch(std::bad_alloc ba) line with catch(...) the problem 
goes away.  Strange ???
Best Regards
