[ODE] Have LCP throw exceptions?

Sat Oct 7 22:26:27 MST 2006

Exceptions have two problems:

1) They don't work in C.
2) They have a non-zero cost, even when not thrown, in Microsoft Visual C++.

I remember back in the days when we implemented zero-overhead exceptions 
in CodeWarrior, but apparently Microsoft didn't want to go that route :-(

An alternative would be to let the user register an "exception handler" 
function pointer which we call in these cases, and the user can do 
whatever he/she wants. Meanwhile, the default would probably call abort().

Cheers,
