I am trying to establish a policy for using exceptions in C++ programming
for my company. A few questions:
- is there a serious intent to migrate (or switch) g++'s exception mechanism
to the one of the proposed ANSI C++ (per Ellis/Strostrup book)?
- if so, when to expect that? If the answer is 'in g++ 2.x', then when
can one expect that release?
- if answers to the above unknown or not public, then what do you recommend
we do if (a) we'd like to be very standard in our use of C++, (b)
we must use exceptions (error codes won't do), (c) we'd like to have
little or no code to adjust or redo for this reason in the future.
Is there a non-empty solution satisfying the above three constraints?
- has anybody that you know of faced and resolved the same problem or similar?
If so, can you provide pointers, sketch their solutions, etc.?
Please help. We _must_ make a decision very soon, and I can use all the help
I can get.
Please respond via e-mail (and _not_ by posting to the newsgroup, because
for a while I won't be able to monitor the news reliably) to:
simmel@oberon.com
Thank you for your help.
