Exception handling in GCC

Post by rdos »

Seems like SEH (Structured Exception Handling) is somewhat covered in gcc/libgcc, but it doesn't seem like it is fully implemented. It doesn't seem like it is implemented in newlib either. I somewhat know how this is done in PE (Windows style), but would it work to implement windows-like exception handling with 64-bit ELF-format? How is this related to signals and alike? Is there some examples of how this could be done to support POSIX and signals?

Signals and exception handling are completely orthogonal.

Exception handling is specified by the Itanium C++ ABI
