I actually solved this once with a really ugly exception-unwinder (implemented mostly in macros with one fugly bit of arch-dependent code). A few years later I had to port it to a new platform and wished I'd done something else.
(btw, I wish you'd be less bloody combative all the time. You turn every discussion on LWN into a minor war.)

Kettle, meet pot. :-D
But j/k, I love your discussions. From both of you. I learn a lot.
No thanks.

Yup. Each sufficiently complex error handling system is indistinguishable from exceptions.

Well, it's clear for me that there are only two kinds of opinions: mine and incorrect. I don't understand why other people still disagree.
