It's essentially a moving target and adds an unnecessary dependency to the compiler. - Rewrite the code generator, for example in a SSA-IR way > Didn't Florian work on that already?

However I am in favor of introducing DWARF exception handling that should have similar benefits as SEH on Win64 if I remember correctly. And for threadvars we could try to implement a different mechanism as well. I think there was some experiment for that some time ago 🤔 A further problem is that not all of us have access to Kylix so that not everyone can compare the performance. Regards, Sven
