Hi all,
For those people who arrived to the party too recently to remember, it was always Mingw's intention to shift to Dwarf2 EH. It was just slow in coming. One of the reasons it took so long was that for a long time, Mingw's compiler was not considered to be a first-class target, but was only a set of patches maintained by Mingw.org itself. Now Mingw -is- a first-class GCC target, and their compiler patches do make it into GCC trunk somewhat faster.
Now that DW2 is becoming the default on Win32, shifting back to old SJLJ would be going -against- progress. (And be bad timing, too :-)
Anyway, DW2 is what I will be using from now on.
