There are some overheads in enabling native exceptions.
I'm not too familiar with the issue, I only know that when I added
support
for native exceptions to gnustep-make and tried to make it the
default, someone
else came out and turned it off again by default claiming that the
overheads
are high.
That's fine btw - the main problem is that because you need a special
configure flag to turn them on,
nobody seems to be using native exceptions, so they don't get used /
tested / finished. :-(
Which is a pity, because they are a nice feature to have.
Thanks
