[PPL-devel] Feature request: optionally compile with support for exceptions

Hi there,

it would be nice to be able to write `--enable-exceptions' in the GMP configure command line so that, if GMP is compiled with GCC, the `-fexceptions' option is used. This is necessary to have, e.g., `bad_alloc' thrown when virtual memory is exhausted and most serious C++ GMP users will want to do that. Of course, the default can/should be `--disable-exceptions'.

If you give me access to the sources I will be happy to provide a patch to that effect.

Since there is a new release scheduled and this release has a C++ interface to the library, I believed this was the right time to raise the issue. Keep up the great work,

Roberto
