I'm sorry that I didn't reply. I generally ignore or deprioritize people who email me directly asking something because I feel that replying on mailing lists is a lot better use of my time than sending personal emails. Further, I just got back from traveling and had a backlog of thousands of messages across a number of mailing lists, so I've been working my way through that. The topic that you asked about (gcc 4.3) is complex, and I feel it has been covered in the archives sufficiently that I didn't feel like writing another essay on the topic. It is far from "quiet" as you suggest. Here are some recent threads: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.user/25885/focus=25930 http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2007-11/threads.html#00051 (and continued in december: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2007-12/threads.html#00053) In short: Exception handling is a complicated situation, both because of the lack of upstream support for shared target libraries as well as the desire to transition away from SJLJ. I think the above threads pretty clearly spell out what issues are still required to be addressed and what pains we may encounter when moving to a very different version of gcc as the default.
