LibEV and C++ exception pass through

[David Imhoff]

Hi,

I just wanted to share this, because I couldn't find any messages about 
this problem on the list.

When running the below code on a x86 machine, the exception is not 
caught. Instead the program will abort and core dump. On amd64 however 
this code does works as expected.

I found that compiling libev with the '-fexceptions' flag solves this 
issue for GCC.

I don't know how other compilers/platforms deal with this.

Kind regards,

David

         return 0;
