One thing I'm still very clear on: if this change is made we need a big bold statement to that effect in the docs, it's bound to bite somebody, particularly those folks who run automated tests.
I do not believe that removing the entire try catch all will be noticeable from outside! But perhaps I am caught by a fundamental misconception about exceptions and threads. The only thing it changes is behaviour from platform dependant to library defined. Which for the most part will result in the same. To be honest, I did not try out yet what really happens on the various platforms when an exception escapes from a thread. However I rather would suggest somethin along the lines: try { // init platform thread thereadfunc(); } catch (...) { _uncaught_handler(); } But perhaps this is already the standard behaviour, altough I hardly can believe that this has anything to do with ISO, as threading is not currently covered at all.
