I have most of the standard texts on compiler building. They all go
into great detail about parsing, scanning, code generation, and so
forth, but leave out the details on how to handle *run-time* errors.
Compile-time errors are no problem.


For example, the various flavors of Microsoft Basics have the "On
Error Goto" construct and the Err object. How much of that is part of
the runtime library, and how much is part of code generation ? Is
there a website or book that has more comprehensive information on
this subject?
