For VisualC++
In MSDN (july 99):
"In the current Microsoft implementation of C++ exception handling, 
unexpected calls terminate by default and is never called by the 
exception-handling run-time library. There is no particular advantage to 
calling unexpected rather than terminate."

( 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore98/html/_crt_set_unexpected.asp 
)

The fact that g++ terminate should be considered as a bug. (actually it 
helps the programmer to find bugs in his code because it forces him to 
specify correctly the exception that should be thrown ;-) )
