The Android NDK seemed relatively rushed when it was first
released (and given V1 didn't have any code examples / etc), so I'm
guessing this was more a release-speed decision rather than a design
requirement. This is pure speculation though....
I've not used the NDK for anything serious, so am not in a position to
comment. I briefly looked at an early release (at home, not for work)
and it kind of looked like I expected...
I still think it is possible (rushed or not) that the decision to leave
out exception handling support was a deliberate choice based on their
experience with embedded "convention" rather than simply expediency.
Most of the tools used do have exception support these days, so it is
almost more work to inhibit it than to leave it on...
Hmm, EmbeddedC++ has exception support, so I guess it can't be
too quaint a concept - though note that I don't do anything with
embedded systems so I'm probably wrong here
Sure: It's often not a tool-support issue these days, rather there are
other drivers for the choice. And generally it is a choice, not
something where the facility simply is not available...

Well, it'll depend on how it fits in with Matthias' plan for
FLTK3. Plus, I've got a bucketton of porting 2.0-to-3.0 to do as well as
a GPA to maintain, so it probably won't come about until ~December.....
Just enough time to get flkt3 stable then... ;-)
