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.
