Unfortunately Dr. Dobbs' Journal just published an article describing
benchmarks for C++. While the benchmarks look interesting, the author
tested the exceptions performance of g++ 2.7.2.1 ! (Sigh). And this
is for a piece in the October 1998 issue. Even assuming a publication
delay of six months that is really unfortunate.
