Agreed. Or, as Bjarne used to say "no naked news" :) It feels like we've been gradually migrating to the codebase to this style *anyway* since it's more maintainable even w/o EH. > But converting existing code is hard. (And maintaining a boundary between EH > and non-EH parts of a program sounds like a huge headache.) Also agreed :( However, based on our relative success using static analysis to switch from conservative to precise GC, I was thinking that it would be possible to apply similar techniques to incrementally switch to EH. Still, as you said, a relatively large investment so not one I'd advocate for making atm. _______________________________________________ dev-tech-js-engine-internals mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-js-engine-internals
