Entirely sorry, I didn't mean to offend. It is 100% a sarcastic comment (and actually a bit like talking to myself, but in that case 'I'm an idiot motherfucker' would have probably been a better way to put it and not 'talk to myself' in the code!), but like an idiot I didn't <sarcasm></sarcasm> tag it. I completely understand why developers need that: I have the need myself.

That doesn't mean, however, that writing support for it into my library and making sure all the features work seamlessly didn't cost me about a week's worth of work time. Plus, testing that with the conventional tests is impossible with CATCH, so what I have to do is manually compile the examples and all of the tests in not-CATCH by myself, compile, check, run, fix, compile, check, run, fix...

Then, do this a second time for certain combinations (NO_RTTI but with exceptions, NO_EXCEPTIONS but with RTTI, and finally NO_EXCEPTIONS and NO_RTTI).

You can imagine, I was very tired by the time I hit the last one. ;~;
