Message: [QUOTE="Balog Pal, post: 5026565"] We had a pretty long thread here titled 'We do not use C++ exceptions at Google'. No, it was on .moderated, early 2009. The conclusion was that this guideline is a major WTF, and most likely due to Google got locked in with a huge rotten codebase. And selection of staff too, with that rule not trained to know about exception safety and the rest. A plenty of excellent C++ programmers just refuse to work with that, so they are left with the rest It hardly means anything beyond that. Too bad I didn't save the dox at the time. The current one looks even more explicit admitting that they fouled up their environment and decided to stay in darkness forever. [/QUOTE]
