Rob, I appreciate your input. I understand that original author stepped away from the uClibc++ development, but as I understand uClibc++ is not completely abandoned project, since there are still commits dated 6 days ago (https://git.uclibc.org/uClibc++/log/) by Bernhard Reutner-Fischer. Also OpenWRT uses uClibc++ as a primary C++ library with the latest GCC 5.2.x (luckily almost no program is using exceptions on embedded). So if you are saying that posting to this list is not a right way to have my patch accepted, could you please point me to the right one. Thank you for your time. P.S. added Bernhard Reutner-Fischer into CC, because I hope for some movement for this patch. -- Ivan Kold. _______________________________________________ uClibc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/uclibc
