llvm dev - Mar 2007 - [LLVMdev] exceptions in llvm projects

While creating compiler transformations for use with opt, I discovered 
that when configuring and making LLVM and its projects, exceptions are 
disabled.  I'm assuming that was done for performance reasons.  Is there 
any reason not to enable exceptions for LLVM projects?

Thanks,
Ryan

That's correct. It makes LLVM slightly smaller too.  Note that the tools
and a few libraries not not exception free at this point. Any Makefile
that has REQUIRES_EH:=1 in it will build with exceptions enabled.

Nope. Have at it.  Just don't expect to catch many (any?) from LLVM.
