anirudh2290 commented on issue #14397: [WIP] Add exception handling support for waitall URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/14397#issuecomment-471870654 We had earlier decided this based on complication associated with adding global exception_ptr and having to reset all the exception_ptrs corresponding to vars and ops.Another, reason was the performance impact. I think we overestimated the difficulty since the decision to used shared_ptr<exception_ptr> enables us to modify the exception_ptrs associated with vars and ops by just setting it to nullptr. Also, there would be performance implication if there is an exception in the code and this can be more pronounced for a tool supposed to used only for benchmarking. But customers seems to be using it outside benchmarking and the performance impact will only happen when there is an exception thrown so it should be acceptable.
