Just so everyone is on the same page: the changes going in to qtbase mean that
the -no-exceptions option is effectively removed. The Qt configuration will no
longer allow users to turn it on or off.
The decision to enable exceptions or disable them will now rest exclusively on
the Qt source code itself. QtCore, QtConcurrent and the modules that need
exceptions (like QtXmlPatterns) have it turned on. All others have it turned
off, helping save library size.
We hope that this will not cause any problems. Exceptions travelling through
Qt code have never been supported outside of a few specific codepaths, so we
don't expect this to cause any regressions.
Does anyone foresee any?
In time: this change does not affect user programs, examples, demos as well as
unit tests. Exception support is still enabled there by default and can be
disabled with CONFIG += exceptions-off.
It's also possible to turn exceptions off everywhere by tweaking the mkspec,
which is also how you turn RTTI off completely. But at this point we'll
probably say it's an unsupported configuration and disavow responsibility for
any build errors.
