Hi Carl, Exceptions should be fine as long as you confine them to within the library. Note that you do have to specifically enable exception support when compiling (-fexceptions) and link to a C++ runtime that supports exception. You have to choose to link to the static library or shared library and that can get a bit tricky. See docs/CPLUSPLUS-SUPPORT.html inside the NDK for details.
