> Opinions on this? I am in favour of removing the throw specifications. Especially after reading your link (and what it links to, like http://www.gotw.ca/publications/mill22.htm ).
I think a large part of our hackers, certainly of new ones, might have more experience of Java than C++. They might think that C++ is more like Java, and that the throw clauses are crucial to be exactly right (for some value of "right"), and then waste time. (Or am I completely confuse?) And then there are the hackers (like me) who don't bother to wonder about it, and pay no attention to whether some function claims to potentially throw something or not, and just copy boilerplate as they think necessary when applicable. For the benefit of both classes of hackers it would be cleaner to just remove the throw specifications. --tml _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
