Re: Excessive exception size cost ...

Just some interesting numbers for this debate.

Doing some rough analysis on master:

[1] total number of throw calls     108381

[2] total no. of catch blocks         3984
     re-throws the same exception      319
     throws different exception        433
     calls generic handler            1134
     ignores exceptions               1121
     others                            977


Footnotes

[1] git grep throw | wc -l

[2] find . -name *.cxx | xargs grep -A 5 -h "catch ("
    and then a small java program
