- Subject: Exception handling information
Hello,
After searching this list it appears that with recent gcc (I am using gcc
4.1), C++ exception handling has zero overhead (unless an exception actually
happens)
Where can I find more information on how exception handling is done and if
this zero overhead property is always true.
I looked a a couple of manuals on the gcc homepage but could not find anything.
Thanks a lot!
