The only reason to forbid exceptions on technical (as opposed to uneducated or -worse- political) grounds is in hard real-time systems, because throwing an exception doesn't have a deterministic runtime in current implementations. But neither do malloc and operator new, so you will find that they tend to get banned together. I doubt that Qt will be used in a hard real-time environment with banned dynamic allocations anytime soon :) Thanks, Marc _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
