Re: GCC, libgcc & thread-safe exception handling

[brian]

Yes, it most certainly is. We use exceptions and Pthreads in
multi-threaded applications with perfect success all the time.

One thing you must be careful of: When your applications calls
pthread_create(), the new thread of execution has its own stack and the
call therefore changes the stack. But C++ doesn't know this and if you
let an exception propogate back down to the caller of pthread_create()
then your application will crash.

Therefore, take care that the target function of a pthread_create()
catches ALL execptions (without exception!!!) and all will be fine.
