Hi,

Although the original thread on devel@l.fp.o brought some feedbacks, the original question have not really been answered so I am bringing the question here. Is this a review blocker or should i just go on with the review ?

Thanks for your help, Pierre

Hi,

I have been looking into the review #668863 in which the packager for this library (who also happens to be upstream) is actually removing the flag "-fexceptions" from $RPM_OPT_FLAGS in the %build.

Asking this question on irc (on fedora-devel) as lead to a small discussion without clear agreement.

Unfortunately, my knowledge of C++ is not sufficient for me to take a decision and I therefore would like to know if this would be a blocker for the review.

I have to say:

• The package compiles with and without the flag
• Upstream does not want to have this flag on, saying that if an

exception occurs the program should crash anyway (that is its expected behavior)*.

Thanks for your help,

Pierre

• That is if I understood correctly.
