Output stream not closed

[Luc484]

Hi! I'm trying to write to a file stream, so I open a file I want to write to and I catch the exception I throw in case of problems. Inside the same try block, I throw another exception in same cases, using a different value for the parameter. In that case, I want to write something into the same exact file I opened before. Unfortunately, the variable of type ofstream already declared cannot be used as it is declared in a different block. So I created another variable of type ofstream for the same output file. Is this correct? Can I do this? I mean, can I do this even if the stream of the try block was not closed correctly (the exception is thrown before the stream can be closed)? This is an example:

try
{
   ofstream streamOut("output");
   if (!streamOut) throw(0);
   // do something
   ... throw(1);
   // do something else
   streamOut.close();
}
catch(int error)
{
   if (error == 0) // do something
   else if (error == 1)
   {
      ofstream streamOut("output");
      //write something
      streamOut.close();
      return 1;
   }
}
return 0;

Is this permitted?
Thanks!
