If the STL is compiled with exceptions support, I can't get rid off its overhead. It's not just about not using them, but to not pay for its overhead (e.g. see newlib). The 0-overhead principle is violated in this case, I'm paying for something I don't use in terms of RAM and cost in HRT applications. That hurts when developing for small-featured RAM boards. However, there could be two builds of the STL, one with exceptions support and another much smaller without; a flag like the one I'm proposing would be useful to select which one to link with in the target fragment file. -- Daniel F.
