+wxWindows library itself is unfortunately not exception-safe (as its
+initial version predates, by far, the addition of the exceptions to the C++
+language). However you can still use the exceptions in your own code and use
+the other libraries using the exceptions for the error reporting together with
+wxWindows.
+
+
+There are a few issues to keep in mind, though:
+
+
You shouldn't let the exceptions propagate through wxWindows code,
+ in particular you should always catch the exceptions thrown by the
+ functions called from an event handler in the handler itself and not
+ let them propagate upwards to wxWindows.
+
+
You may need to ensure that the compiler support for the exceptions is
+ enabled as, considering that wxWindows itself doesn't use the
+ exceptions and turning their support on results in the library size
+ augmentation of 10% to 20%, it is turned off by default for a few
+ compilers. Moreover, for gcc (or at least its mingw version) you must
+ also turn on the RTTI support to be able to use the exceptions, so you
+ should use --disable-no_rtti --disable-no_exceptions options
+ when configuring the library (attention to the double negation).
