[cfe-dev] Using STD exceptions in Clang code

[Garrison Venn]

You may be affected by the fact that the clang libraries themselves (the ones 
you are using), are built by default with exceptions disabled. If you are throwing
"through" these libraries there would be an issue since cleanups would need to
be invoked (internal to the clang libraries). If this is the case, you can always
rebuild clang/llvm with exceptions on. Beyond a performance hit, I'm not sure
what the stability issues would be when using clang/llvm built with exceptions
enabled.

Hope this helps

When I try to compile the code, despite using the flag "-fexception", gcc tells me that the exception handling disabled, so I must use -fexceptions to enable it.
