On Windows: warning C4530

[albertosantini]

Installing the module on windows I get the following warning:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\xlocale(323): warning C4530: C++ exception handler used, but unwind semantics are not enabled.Specify /EHsc

I suggest to enable the exception handling modifying binding.gyp:

{
  'targets': [
    {
      'target_name': 'contextify',
      'sources': [ 'src/contextify.cc' ]
    }
  ],
  'configurations': {
    'Release': {
      'msvs_settings': {
        'VCCLCompilerTool': {
          'ExceptionHandling': 1
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

P.S.: As workaround it is possible to modify the common.gypi located at

%USERPROFILE%\.node-gyp\__NODE_RELASE__\common.gypi

Sadly we should update that file every time we update the nodejs release.

Regarding the workaround, what specifically would need to be added to common.gypi to enable exception handling?

@fshost, you need to modify common.gypi, setting to one the two entries for 'ExceptionHandling' property.

The folder .node-gyp, containing nodejs libraries, is added automagically when the module is installed.
