> Compiling with exceptions turned off is highly unusual.

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.
