Re: Support for exceptions

As far I know, it would break compatibility with gcc < 2.95. I'm not sure if Qt or KDE wishes to do this, and would imagine it's one of the major reasons they're not sported, rather than a programming dislike. Do correct me if I'm wrong.

One of the gcc 2.95 holdouts had been FreeBSD and my understanding is that they are looking at making the move to gcc 3x in the next few months. I'm not sure but I think that it's possible stable Debian may be another holdout, but given even the longest life expectancies of a platform it seems reasonable to expect that by next year when KDE 4 is coming out the gcc 2.95 issue could be history.

Not with gcc-3.x being 2x-3x times slower at building things.

FreeBSD already shifted to gcc 3.x quite some time ago. Currently I am using gcc 3.3.3. Not the cutting edge, but a darned sight newer than 2.95. The move has already been made and there's nothing left to do except declare the 5.x branch stable...
