[LLVMdev] Exception handling with the LLVM makefile system

[Pablo Barrio]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble when trying to reuse some functions that use 
Boost::Exception into my LLVM-based application. As far as I know, LLVM 
turns off Exception handling (apparently for performance reasons), so I 
get the following link-time error in a few places:

"undefined reference to `boost::throw_exception(std::exception const&)"

When I compile the external code from outside the LLVM Makefile system, 
everything goes well. Is it possible to enable exception handling for 
some parts of the compilation? Just like turning on RTTI with 
"REQUIRES_RTTI=1" ? Removing exception handling from the functions is 
not an option, since I would have to tweak the Boost library internals.

Thanks ahead!
