There was a discussion about this topic recently that I thought was on dev-platform, but some searching doesn't turn it up. The consensus I remember was that was it was semi-desirable, but auditing all of the existing code for exception safety was a long, tedious task. We'd have to see what the size and runtime penalties looked like as well. I don't think anybody's planning on tackling this anytime soon. -Nathan _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
