At least with GCC, this should be safe (provided applications don't let 
exceptions go trough the Qt layer)

There is also QtConcrrent which is not part of QtCore anymore and has some 
exception handling possibilities.

And I think -no-exception could stay to disable exception even in QtCore if 
someone  still want to reduce the footprint
