Hello,
I started a thread about the possible development of a throw-like
qualifier for C++ which may statically check that the only possible
exceptions are those declared in the qualifier (please see the
corresponding thread:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2007-03/msg01162.html
).
It would be my first contribution to a GNU project, and I would
like to know how likely this extension to the language is to be
included in an official release. Does it depend only in the quality of
the code, tests, etc. or there are additional factors? The people
involved in the thread do not detered me to carry out the extension
(but they were only two person :D ).
My main purpose is to have such a static check _inside_ gcc, in
order to be sure that this extension will be maintained and available
in the future. If it is not likely to be included in an official
release, I prefer to contribute to eDoc++ (edoc.sourceforge.net), an
(almost) existing tool which performs the test "outside" gcc.
All the best,
Sergio
