I haven't updated the Base classes in about two weeks and the change made to GemException has made MSVC very unhappy. It throws a warning about public std::exception for each and every class compiled. The warning is C4275: no dll-interface class 'exception' used as base for dll-interface class 'GemException'. Webpage here:

I have no idea what this really means. MS doesn't have a runtime exception for use with DLLs? Should I just do the pragma to shut the warning off?

i think i'll revert the changes.

i introduced them in trying to solve a crash on debian systems whenever an exception was thrown. i tried to make GemExceptions as "standard" as possible. it turned out to be a problem of the used stdlibc++ with the nvidia-drivers, so my changes didn't help at all.

i thought that if they don't help, they won't hurt; obviously i was not correct here.
