Not true. An exception unwinds the stack calling destructors as it goes. Longjmp just restores registers and jumps up the stack. They're very different beasts.

C++ Exception handling is actually quite complex with a number of unintuitive gotchas. Sadly, it's been a great source of compiler bugs too.
