I haven't looked at pre2 yet, but I'd be really suprised if they wree broken in anything resembling the general case. The testsuite for EH on OSR5 says they work as well as they do on other targets. (At least it did as of pre1 as well as for the preceeding many months.) If you know of cases where they don't, please submit a full test case. If you're testing the waters, I say "go for it". The only thing I can think of that's sleazy on OpenServer regarding exceptions is that sjlj-exceptions are the default for COFF and dwarf2 range decoding is the default for ELF. The tools go to some effort to insure that you don't mix COFF and ELF willy-nilly but nothing can prevent a user from doing it. If it linked at all, I wouldn't expect EH to work in that case. RJL
