Since I was unable to test the internal_exception() to real_exception() change on anything other than i386, I didn't update the jit_emit.h headers for other architectures in the repository. I'm sorry that this has caused headaches. I did make a mention of the fact that I couldn't update all architectures in RT#40392 which I'm pretty sure made it to the list. Is there anything I can do to help out? Paul
