Picolibc is targeted for smaller embedded systems. It brings improvement over newlib-nano in case of pure C applications. However when used with C++ applications all gains from smaller size of libc are wasted by exception handling support in libstdc++. This change disables exception support in picolibc libstdc++. It results in decreased flash usage - ~9.5kB for ARM target. Signed-off-by: Adrian Gielniewski <[email protected]>

Should this wait until we figure out a plan to support libstdc++ as a module so that apps needing exceptions can use that instead? |
Sure, makes sense. |
