Try/catch compiles fine with '-fno-exceptions' (which was a surprize to me) with g++ 3.3.3; but not with any other version of gcc I tried; must be a bug in 3.3.3 ... Throw doesn't compile with g++ 3.3.3 either. Obviously, if you are *using* exceptions, you can't just tell the compiler "ignore what I wrote, and compile something else instead". You might as well try to compile output from /dev/random. If you want to experimentally disable exceptions, you have to do it with macros. Something like: #if EXCEPTIONS_WANTED # define TRY try # define CATCH(a) catch (a) #else # define TRY if(1) # define CATCH(a) else if (0) { #endif ... TRY { something(); } CATCH(int x) { handle_exception(); } You'll need to get more creative if handle_exception() needs to reference 'x'.
