I disagree. Please show me a better way to handle errors than using
exceptions.
KDE will not use exceptions in the foreseeable future. Why ?
* Because g++ adds too much overhead.
- g++ could be fixed and that could happen tomorrow.
* Because Qt doesn't.
- I can't see how Trolltech could justify changing all their code to
use exceptions _ever_, because they would break _all_ client code with
massive source incompatibility.
So, I don't think Qt will ever use exceptions and therefore KDE never
will. Sad, but that's life. The only way this will change is if KDE
moves to a different language + toolkit. Perhaps in 5 years time Qt will
be ported to Java as a new GUI kit and KDE will move over to that.
