No Coda does not use exceptions, and there is only one place where it might, but we opted against it as it would limit the choice of compiler pretty much down to egcs. I don't think gcc 2.8.x has support for exceptions. However gcc/g++ doesn't accept the -fno-exceptions flag, so this would have to be deduced by the configure script. | Also, on PPC, gcc and egcs default to -funsigned-char.

We just fixed a long filename bug having to do with storing a namelength in a signed char instead of an unsigned char. I'd rather fix the lot of warnings, at least that will reduce any chances of silly bugs staying around. JanReceived on 1999-02-08 10:07:48
