[...] Indeed Windows and OpenVMS have such a mechanism. That's clean and library friendly, but please read: https://www.usenix.org/conference/wiess-2000/c-exception-handling-ia64 to understand how it hurts optimization. (And no, raising an exception from an handler doesn't always work, due to optimizations allowed by the gcc exception mechanism). Regards, Tristan.
