Hi.
I'm here in HK with Ilya, Atila, John Colvin, and Jonathan
Davis.
I wondered what the current state of D catching C++
exceptions was on Linux and Windows. I know that some work
was done on making this possible, and my understanding is that
it is, more or less - just wondered what the rough corners
might be.
Thanks.

IIRC I remember Walter saying that we should only bother to be
able to catch C++ exceptions derived from std::exception, as
opposed to say ints or strings. I believe the line was "those
who throw ints should get what they deserve".
Apart from that I believe they should "just work", although I
haven't tested.
OT I'm sorry I could make it to HK, I'm busy with uni all this
week. I could possibly do telepresence though.

Thanks, Nic. Sorry about the dates - was arranged last minute.
I'll drop you a line shortly in any case.
Laeeth.
