Hello all,
    Can anyone point me to any documentation (or information) about the
way GCC handles C++ exceptions? More specifically, the format it uses
for the exception tables in generated code. I've looked at files
compiled with g++ and gcc -fexceptions and the format of the table is
not easily deciphered. Also,
can these tables be patched in at runtime? I suppose they
need to be for dynamically linked object files.


    I've checked the gnu.org site but didn't have any luck finding such
specific information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Bill
