It is true that MinGW GCC does not support SEH, but this fact is not related to this restriction, which relates to C++ exceptions only. GCC has never supported SEH directly, although it is possible to throw and catch SEH exceptions using RaiseException() and __try1 in <expt.h>. > Without implementation of SEH serious systems such as OpenOffice, > Firefox, Gimp, PostgreSQL, will remain forced to use MSVC or Intel C++. I'm confused. None of these pieces of software require compiler SEH support. Are you talking about something else here? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
