There are currently three issues for supporting compilation without exceptions
resolves #196 (closed with no changes)
resolves #799 (open, no interaction)
resolves #930 (open, no interaction)
these issue mention the following use case:
using the library for a project where external constraints force it to build without exceptions (e.g. game development, embedded)
My use case is a C++ application that I compile with exceptions enabled for Linux/Windows but also with emscripten for WebAssembly where I disable exceptions.
YAML_CPP_NORETURN
to annotate functions as not returning indll.h
YAML_throw<ExceptionType>(args...)
inexception.h
this function will throw an exception unless exceptions are disabled in the compiler,
detected by checking the pre-defined macro
__cpp_exceptions
In this case the exception class will be instantiated, and the user-provided function
YAML::handle_exception(const char*)
will be called on the exception'swhat()
methodYAML::handle_exception
,there will be a linker error
sed -i "s/throw \([A-Za-z]*\)(\(.*\))/YAML_throw<\1>(\2)/g"
throw statements for non-templated exceptionssed -i "s/throw \(.*\)<\(.*\)>(/YAML_throw<\1<\2> >(/g"
throw statements for templated exceptions
