I've worked at companies that disable exceptions, and, with little exception, the rules were put in place by programmers that didn't understand exceptions at all. My experience suggests that these people should be ignored. Don't waste time on this red herring. This is 2010. Exceptions are an important part of the language. One cannot write non-trivial code that guarantees behavior without them. Calling std::exit() from a library is the absolute worst thing that one can do. Rob
