In C++0x if an exception is thrown and not caught in some non-main
thread, what is defined to happen?

Thanks,

I don't see that threads have anything to do with this - the document
I am looking at says:

[quote from N2798=08-0308]

9 If no matching handler is found, the function std::terminate() is
called; whether or not the stack is
unwound before this call to std::terminate() is implementation-defined
(15.5.1).

std::terminate()

If no matching handler is found, the function std::terminate() is 
called.
