Is there plans to catching C++ exceptions in D?
What kind of C++ exceptions planned to catch in D?
For example C++ can throw primitive types exceptions, for example
int.
Of cource, them can be wrapped into special D CPPException :
Throwable, class, which contains string representation of C++
exception.
What about C++ polymorthic exceptions? AFAIK, C++ exception are
throwing by-value, and catching by ref (to allow polimorthic
catch). Where C++ calls destructor for exception? In catch block?
In D GC handles an exception lifetime.
Is there any ideas about it?
P.S. I tell about user-side of catching C++ exceptions, not about
implementation.
