The current beta version has the following limitations:
|
|
|
|
- Only persistent servers are currently supported
|
|
|
|
- No multi-threaded applications
|
|
|
|
Support for the GNU C++ compiler (version 2.7.2) is currently only
|
|
experimental. The GNU C++ isn't fully supported yet due to the lack of
|
|
a stable exception handling mechanism. On some platforms GNU C++
|
|
doesn't support exception handling at all (e.g. MIPS), while on other
|
|
platforms the exception handling is still very buggy (SPARC, Intel).
