[gmpi] Re: Reqs final draft

personally:

-divs by zero are not THAT rare, while they're bugs they usually don't prevent the plugin from running

-you want to track divs by zero when you debug your plugin, but for the final version?

-IMO the biggest reason NOT to want divs by zero triggering exceptions is that they CAN happen. If a host doesn't handle the div by zero exception, it's gonna crash or freeze it (most likely if it happens from within the mixing thread)




>I can see lots of reasons to have all exceptions disabled (it's made for 
realtime apps - you don't want exceptions here more than you'd do in apps
that use openGL), but what's your reason to want exceptions unmasked?


if a plugin does a divide-by-zero, its an error on the part of the
developer AFAICT. as a host author, i would want to catch such
actions, and remove the plugin from my "graph". you can, i believe,
mask certain exceptions and allow others.
