I will personally slay the person to include this in the default system,
as -any- bug found at a higher level in the chain will be rendered
completely undebuggable if glibc or other library that it links uses
this, The initial speedup is trivial for things such as the basesystem,
and to simply ignore all bugreports from a person who uses it is quite a
valid proposition as far as I'm concerned.
Why the strong feelings about it? bugreports are quite vital to our QA
and future survival, and to our users if they ever want to try anything
even remotely unstable, or development (face it, quite a few do), and
the amount of trouble this flag generates further down the line is
immense.
Yes, you can leave it as a suggestion if you wish, though it should be
noted that "this will break all debugging and render all bugreports
useless, as well as it may introduce odd crashes which will not be
traceable" , But it should -not- be thought of as an default
alternative.
Better for defaults would be -fno-exceptions for C++ and C code,
although this also breaks code, but more noticable in most cases.
