Compiling with exceptions turned off is highly unusual. If you do that, you're not really writing C++ anymore, as it's a fundamental part of the language. Exceptions are the mechanism provided for indicating that it was impossible to construct an object, and to trigger appropriate cleanup actions. |

I thought it was routine. Until C++11 made smart pointers standard, it was unreasonably difficult to write exception-safe code, so my understanding was that a lot of C++03 code didn’t even try. Game developers would routinely use -fno-exceptions and -fno-rtti for reliability and performance reasons.
