Version: Gideon 3.0.0a4 (using KDE KDE 3.1.1) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 3.2.2 OS: Linux From main menu with a C++ project, do the following: Project --> Project Options --> Configure Options --> C++ --> [...] on the Compiler Flags line. In the General tab, enable the 'Enable exception handling' feature in Code Generation. Expected result: -fexceptions would be added to the compiler options. Alternate expected result: -fno-exceptions, if it exists in the compiler options textbox, would be removed. Actual result: Although nothing to do with -f{no-,}exceptions exists in the compiler options textbox, -fno-exceptions is added. This DISABLES rather than enables exception handling using g++. Suggested solution: Change the behavior. Make it add -fexceptions instead of -fno-exceptions. Alternatively, change the wording to 'Disable exception handling', though this wording is rather nasty.
