Brian and Greg describe the problem correctly and clearly; you should
test to see if any code you're using is impacted.


It's very unfortunate to add this restriction, but for the time being, I
think its the only reasonable thing to do. Thoughtful arguments to the
contrary are welcome, of course.


I know how bad this is for some people, but there's a few mitigating
factors that I think make it OK for us to do this.

-If all goes as planned, this problem will be fixed within a few months
time in the upstream GCC (4.4), and backported to MinGW GCC 4.3.

-People for whom this is a problem can still build their own GCC with
SJLJ enabled.

-Throwing non-SEH exceptions through arbitrary foreign frames isn't
really a valid thing to do anyway unless you're planning to terminate
immediately--and maybe not even then. In the Win32 API case, it appears
to work most of the time, but I don't see any guarantee of this
documented anywhere.

(This problem will by partially mitigated by the forthcoming improvement
mentioned above.)

-The old GCC 3.4.5 will still be available.
