I guess that the support for C++ exceptions was rejected because of the fear for
bloated object code in comparison to traditional C style checking of return
values. I hope that improvements in compiler implementations will result in
adjustments for this "competition" area. There were restrictions in the past.

Where do you still need to stick to the language feature set that is specified
by the market standard "Embedded C++"?
