Hi! Doesn't it sound clumsy that status string still use this pattern in the new API?
As a first glance, I believe that: 1) Exception class should manage it's memory. When it receives and status vector, it must alloc. space for strings, copy original ones to it and manage it. AFAIR, currently, temporary strings cannot be passed to Arg::Str because they disappear. 2) IStatus should do the same thing. Always. 3) Circular buffer must be local to y-valve legacy functions. It should even be not necessary to export the function in IMaster.
