There is no difference between throwing exceptions (you can as well embed an error code in a generic exception, if you want) and throwing error numbers directly. A different question is whether we want exceptions (RTTI) in the kernel at all. Not sure about gcc, but for example LLVM does not. regards, -- js suse labs
