Node.js Add-on with GYP "exceptions"

Question

I'm trying to make a C++ library to a node.js add-on.

Problem is on build time it errors like:

error: no member named 'runtime_error' in namespace 'std' throw std::runtime_error

Is there something I can replace runtime_error with to get rid of this errors? I tried to disable it with:

'cflags!': [ '-fno-exceptions' ],
'cflags_cc!': [ '-fno-exceptions' ],

But no luck

I found this discussion. And it seems like I have the same question as the guy at the bottom but he didn't get any answer.

Answer 1

What I've done in some of my addons (e.g. sipster) was just add the flag instead of trying to negate it:

'cflags_cc': [ '-fexceptions' ],

That works for me with at least node v0.10.x.

Answer 2

You can add

'GCC_ENABLE_CPP_EXCEPTIONS': 'YES',

to your xcode_settings, that did it for me.

Hope it helps.
