title: Are all official Qt binaries built with -no-exceptions?
body: <p>If I write </p>
  
  <pre><code>try {
      throw std::exception("Exception");
  } catch (std::exception&amp; ex) {
      qDebug("Game Over");
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>inside my main function (or anywhere else), my Qt application crashes.
  This effect has been described (5 years ago) in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4149118/exception-handling-doesnt-work-with-qt-on-windows">Exception handling doesn&#39;t work with Qt on Windows</a>. </p>
  
  <p>The original poster apparently solved the problem by reconfiguring and rebuilding the Qt SDK himself (explicitly enabling <code>-exceptions</code>), but I have a hard time believing that all Qt binaries are shipped with exceptions turned off and that everyone using exceptions must do this.</p>
  
  <p>Could anyone point me to the place where this is documented, tell me whether this is true at all or what I'm doing wrong here? </p>
  
  <p>I'm now on Qt 5.4.2 with MSVC2013, Win 7 (downloaded qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvc2013_opengl-5.4.2.exe from <a href="http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.4/5.4.2/qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvc2013_opengl-5.4.2.exe" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>). </p>
