in kernel-mode code don't use exceptions nor RTTI. They just plain won't 
work as you expect. Forget about them. Code around this limitation. For 
performance and binary size reasons, don't use them in lower-level system 
DLLs either. If the code is going to be shared with the Wine project, just 
forget about C++, or take special, extra care and pain in not using fancy 
modern features or coding practices that rely too much on the 
folding/unrolling/refactoring capabilities of the compiler, *or*, if you do 
it, take some time to try several compilers and disassemble the binaries 
they generate, and decide if the results are reasonable
