Hi there!

I've been  reading the C++ standard (Jan'96   DWP), checking whether a
destructor which  throws    an exception shall    invoke  base-classes
destructors or not.

The   only paragraph I  found a  possible  requirement  of  that is in
[except.ctor],   item  2, where it   says   that partially constructed
objects   will   have   destructors   invoked  for  fully  constructed
sub-objects.

Is   a   partially  destructed   object considered   to   be partially
constructed?

Sorry if this has been asked before; if it has, maybe it deserved some
footnote on the standard.

I'd be  grateful if I  got replies by e-mail too,  for  my newsfeed is
rather unreliable.
