Well g++ 2.96 did a very good job at finding some issues in the code
especially for the exceptions.

one quick question if you don't mind:
- is a class forward declaration sufficient for exception
  or is the class interface needed also?
  
class except;
class A
{
 public:
void f() throw(except);
};

or

<full class definition for except via #include for example>
class A
{
 public:
void f() throw(except);
};

it seems that g++ 2.96 likes the second one and rejects the first one


It seems that 2.96 now is very good at checking signature correctness !
bravo !



a Note for those who want to use g++ 2.96:

don't forget to add the gcc/g++ libraries path to the /etc/ld.so.conf if you 
relocate the gcc tree to an unknow location to the linker (which is 
/usr/local by default). Otherwise you will have undefined symbols.

regards
C.
