RE: [Tinycc-devel] C Exception Handling: Any takers?

[Christian Jullien]

I also read your paper.
I'm reluctant to any C extension. If you think C lacks features (it does)
push your ideas to ISO committee and let it be in the next standard
revision. I have software (OpenLisp) that runs on so many compilers and
systems that I long stop to count (> 100).
Any extension simply does not exist to me. Too often I see developers asking
for XXX extension because their code is tight to it. Too bad.

One of those 40 was me. In principle, I like your implementation, but I 
don't think it belongs in a C compiler. I don't get the whole fuzz about 
exceptions anyway. Nevertheless, if you want to find people that might be 
interrested in your ideas, I think the LLVM development mailinglist would 
be your best choice. Especially if you could make it work for C++ 
execptions, too. IIRC, there has been a thread there about different 
trade-offs for exception handling implementations recently.
