Irrelevant to the point you introduced. This is just to set things straight: I'm pretty sure there is nothing more to discuss on the topic, at least for me. -- [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.

I fully agree, but that wasn't my point. My statement was: a) I don't think there are (larger) C++ applications, which are under all conditions 100% exception safe Your argument is the same as: "There is nothing that prevents a C++ application from being 100% buffer overflow safe and have other security issues". Sure, but still there are many applications with such security issues. End of discussion, too. Andre -- [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.
