My M.Sc. thesis discuss this and other methods for implementing
exception handling in compilers. The thesis also present a unified
method which have ZERO runtime overhead (except for native "C" calls
which may throw exceptions). The unified method supports native calls
and use unique code inspection techniques to avoid the traditional
table size problems associated with the static table approach normally
used to implement zero runtime overhead solutions.


You can download my thesis at:

By the way, the thesis is quite long so you should properly jump right
into the methods overview chapter.
