4) get these freaking bigots to learn how SEH works.
SEH can implement
everything you need and so much more. The DCE exception handling API? a
portable subset of SEH. C++ exception handling? a type-safe wrapper on
SEH, with less features. Just give up and adopt SEH, spare yourself a
lot of pain reinventing it. It won't change how you do things now, and
it will make everything easier. Concerns about portability? SEH worked
unchanged on five completely unrelated operating systems (Windows,
Windows NT, OS/2, VMS, Tru64) and countless hardware architectures (x86,
Alpha, PowerPC, MIPS, ARM, Sh, IA64, x86-64, really anything that's ever
been thrown at it)
SEH is also patented which means its dead in the water for most free
software projects.
