Not having a degree does not nullify your chances. I have no degree, and got an H1-B and subsequently a green card. To qualify for the H1-B, I had to show 12 years of work experience (immigration equates 3 years of work to 1 year of school), and then have my work experience evaluated by a professor. The professor had to establish that my work experience left me with the same experience as someone who would have had a degree.
I know CLR already supports exception filters - I've used VB.Net. You miss my point - the whole point of exception filters is to work around the way that the rethrow operation (that is, the naked "throw" without any given exception within a catch clause, so it pulls the contextual exception) screws up your stack-trace.
Rethrowing an exception should not screw up the stack-trace. But they do, so we need to use the irritating exception filter mechanic.
We are using clangs integrated assembler. The issue is its always choosing to emit jumps in long form which is screwing the aligned of the imm's which are patched at runtime.
Near as I can tell there is no support for the short operator either. Am I missing something?
