Oh, then its even worse. I'd never attempt to use C for any serious work. 
Its the same with Perl btw. It might be nice for a hack between getting up 
and having breakfast, but not when it comes to larger projects. I can only 
laugh about those poor people who have to reimplement the virtual-method / 
method paradigm with cpp tricks and similiar just because their poor 
language has no support for such fundamental principles. If I want real 
masturbation I use assembler, not C. 

BTW I consider using C++ and C++ with exceptions to be two different things, 
as you need two completely different programming paradigms for these 
variants. Mixing both only combines both's disadvantages though.
