I am new to cpp and I am trying out several things. This one I can't seem to figure out on my own.

```
#include <cstdio>
#include <stdexcept>

template <class E, class V> 
struct Pair {
    E first;
    V second;

    Pair(E fst, V snd) : first(fst), second(snd) {}

    E getFirst() { return first; }
    V getSecond() { return second; }
};

template <class t, unsigned dim> 
struct vec {
    t d[dim];

    static constexpr int dimen = dim;

    t &operator[](unsigned n) {
        std::printf("dim: %d %d\n", dim, n);
        if (n >= dim) {
            std::printf("checking %d\n", n);
            throw std::out_of_range("vector index is out of range");
        }
        return d[n];
   };
};

int main() {

    try {
        Pair<int, vec<int, 2> *> test2(2, new vec<int, 2>{1, 2});
        std::printf("%d\n", test2.getSecond()->dimen);
        std::printf("before\n");
        std::printf("%d\n", test2.getSecond()->d[2]); // it seems like the compiler kind of ignores this
    } catch (std::out_of_range e) {
        std::printf("Caught!!");
    }
    return 0;
}

```

Now, the line `std::printf("%d\n", test2.getSecond()->d[2]);` should ideally throw the out\_of\_range error, but it is not. My linter actually warns me that this is out of range also. I can compile and run the program and it returns some garbage `0` value.

My question is: why is *either* the error not being thrown or the error not being caught? I think the error is not being thrown because *checking* is not printed when I run it.
