Hi.

I'm here in HK with Ilya, Atila, John Colvin, and Jonathan 
Davis.
 I wondered what the current state of D catching C++ 
exceptions was on Linux and Windows.  I know that some work 
was done on making this possible, and my understanding is that 
it is, more or less - just wondered what the rough corners 
might be.


Thanks.


Laeeth.


IIRC I remember Walter saying that we should only bother to be 
able to catch C++ exceptions derived from std::exception, as 
opposed to say ints or strings. I believe the line was "those 
who throw ints should get what they deserve".


Apart from that I believe they should "just work", although I 
haven't tested.


OT I'm sorry I could make it to HK, I'm busy with uni all this 
week. I could possibly do telepresence though.

Thanks, Nic.  Sorry about the dates - was arranged last minute.  
I'll drop you a line shortly in any case.
