Since the 64 bit compiler uses SEH and the Borland patent expires next year, I'll like to know how plausible it is to expect SEH on the 32 bit compiler for the gcc 4.9 timeframe. That is, how difficult the implementation is and how much interest it attracts from the developers.
This question was prompted by some experiments comparing VS 2012, mingw-w64-dw2 and mingw-w64-sjlj (g++ 4.7.4 prerealese 32 bits). The sjlj version was slower than VS by a factor of 1.20 and slower than dw2 by a factor of 1.25. That means that gcc is a better optimizing compiler overall (at least on this case) but it is seriously handicapped by the exception handling technologies it uses. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Mingw-w64-public mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public
