To omit special tables which are necessary to properly unwind stack through code that doesn't catch or throw. > If you are not using > exceptions I expect the compiler to not create the corresponding code > (ie stack unwinding etc). Your expectations are somewhat incorrect: even if *your* code doesn't use exceptions, it may call other code that throws, and it may be called by other code that tries to catch. > As I have exceptions in my code, I would expect the option > -fno-exceptions to create code which just crashes/exits the program in > case of a thrown exception. Am I wrong? Well, you obviously are wrong (at least as far as g++ is concerned): instead of doing what you expect; it simply refuses to compile your code. As to whether what you desire is reasonable; I don't believe so, but that's a matter of opinion. Cheers, -- In order to understand recursion you must first understand recursion.
