Really? That means being able to create reference types at CT, that'd be
interesting, to say the least. And what code would catch them? Aren't
they
caught by the runtime?
Well, according to TDPL, the ultimate goal is to be able to use _all_ of
SafeD
with CTFE. So, exceptions would be on the list. However, I wouldn't
expect CTFE
to get that powerful anytime soon.
I think step 1 is to rewrite the compiler in D. Right now, CTFE is
interpreting things from a C++-based program. I think without a garbage
collector too.
