Hi,
We were thinking of handling exceptions using the C++ standards. I
checked out:
http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/portable-cpp.html
to make sure wether these were portable. Here's the answer they give:
3.Don't use exceptions.
Exceptions are another C++ feature which is not very widely
implemented, and as such, their use is not portable C++ code. Don't
use them. Unfortunately, there is no good workaround that produces
similar functionality.
One exception to this rule (don't say it) is that it's probably ok,
and may be necessary to use exceptions in some machine specific
code. If you do use exceptions in machine specific code you must catch
all exceptions there because you can't throw the exception across XP
(cross platform) code.
Too bad...
:-(
Marcel.
