I can no longer contain myself:
0%. (Well, maybe a tiny bit more then that.)
I use g++ for embedded targets, and I have spent much effort getting
executable sizes down. Exception handling would be really nice, but
x% costs real hardware, and real money. And prices are not linear, either.
Don't forget us embedded people, please:-)
