The survey misses options. The main reason why I don't use exceptions and recommend people to stay away from exceptions is that exceptions in c++ is hard. You very easily leak resources. There is no possibility to have compiler-checks that specific exceptions are handled (think java's checked exceptions). You can only emulate a try-finally thing with raii-structs, but that's more bulky. And c++-exceptions don't have stacktrace information. I develop stuff at work sometimes in java, sometimes in c++ (often with Qt) and enjoy using exceptions in java just as much as I avoid using them in c++. /Sune >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
