13.3. Language feature questions

13.3.1. Does MSVC support templates and exception handling?

The 32-bit Visual C++ 2.0 release introduced templates and exception handling. There is no support for these C++ features in 16-bit versions of the product.

It is worth noting that the 16 bit implementation of THROW and CATCH are brain-damaged. They do not clean up the stack as it unwinds.

Yes! See FAQ 11.27 for some hints. This support was added with 4.0

13.3.3. Does VC++ support RTTI?

Yes, version 4.0 does.
