Re: Exceptions in multi-threaded aplication on AIX4.3 / g++ 2.95.2

[vmarquion at amadeus dot net]

Hi all

Multi-threaded exceptions support is a fundamental issue for our application:
depending on it,
we will choose to work with gcc or AIX native compiler ( in my team, we really
would prefer to keep
on with gcc :)   ) and that's why I have some additional questions :

-- Is the fact that gcc-2.95 does not support multi-threaded exceptions on AIX
is stated somewhere ? (for example
on gnu web site ...)
-- Can we be sure that GCC3.0 will support multi-threaded exceptions on AIX ?
(is it stated somewhere ?)
-- I read on gnu web site that GCC 3.0 should be released by the end of the
year. Do you think we can rely on this
information?

Thanks

Regards
Veronique
