and I do not know for sure. I would have suggested to roll out a small test for the currently supported compilers, to see how big the impact would be to regressions. But as you say: "With most of the compilers I use an uncaught exception thrown from a user thread will terminate the application",
I didn't ever say that.
I have to apologize. I mixed up the posters. The sentence is attributed to John Maddok:
I think I'd come down on the other side: this isn't a minor change, it's a complete change of semantics and we should be very careful about such a change. With most of the compilers I use an uncaught exception thrown from a user thread will terminate the application, which may be what you want, or it may not: but it sure is drastic! You can always trap uncaught exceptions yourself and call abort (or whatever) if that's what you want. The debugger I use will also let you trap all thrown exceptions if that's what you want, whether they all do that I don't know.
I hope you didn't see this as beeing offensive. Regards, Roland
