+
+ Restrictions:
+ - use only for caught C++-UNO exceptions (UNOIDL defined)
+ - only as first statement in a catch block!
+ - don't do a C++ rethrow (throw;) after you have called this function
+ - call getCaughtException() just once in your catch block!
+ (function internally uses a C++ rethrow)
+
+ @return
+ caught UNO exception
+
+ @attention Caution!
+ This function is limited to the same C++ compiler runtime library.
+ E.g. for MSVC, this means that the catch handler code (the one
+ that calls getCaughtException()) needs to use the very same
+ C++ runtime library, e.g. msvcrt.dll as cppuhelper, e.g.
+ cppuhelper3MSC.dll and the bridge library, e.g. msci_uno.dll.
+ This is the case if all of them are compiled with the same
+ compiler version.
+ Background: The msci_uno.dll gets a rethrown exception out
+ of the internal msvcrt.dll thread local storage (tls).
+ Thus you _must_ not use this function if your code needs to run
+ in newer UDK versions without being recompiled, because those
+ newer UDK (-> OOo versions) potentially use newer C++ runtime
+ libraries which most often become incompatible!
+
+ But this function ought to be usable for most OOo internal C++-UNO
+ development, because the whole OOo code base is compiled using the
+ same C++ compiler (and linking against one runtime library).
