[Rcpp-devel] experimental handling of uncaught exceptions

[francoisromain at free.fr]

I don't know, this is only using RTTI which is part of the standard C++, and the abi namespace which is supposed to be cross compiler compatible. 

I don't have access to such platform myself, so I don't know if this theory passes the "in pratice" test

I'm fine with releasing. I'd like the external ptr stuff to be in rcpp, under a different name if you prefer. If we canoot make the implicit conversion to work, maybe we should forbid it by declaring the ctor explicit.

Wow!

Is that something we need to #ifdef protect with something specific to
gcc/g++ for the cases where someone tries a different compiler ? As e.g. 
REvolution and Win64 -- we'd prefer to have the package work modulo this
feature. 

Also inline 0.3.4 is on CRAN.  Time for a 0.7.1 release sometime this week,
maybe tomorrow, to finish the inline-back-to-inline transition?  Anything
pending from your end?
