I don't know about Ada, but Norman Ramsey and Simon Peyton Jones are
preparing a paper for publication that treats exception handling on a
level that might be just right for you. It's titled "A Single
Intermediate Language That Supports Multiple Implementations of
Exceptions", and gives example code that is supposed to implement
exceptions in the style of Modula-3, Eiffel, and ML. Their main
problem is to do it in a single intermediate language (an UNCOL, of
sorts) but, as a side effect, they have to discuss how it can be
done. They do it in a C-like language - I suppose that would not be
too bad for an Ada programmer, would it? You can get an abstract of
their paper from
http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~nr/pubs/c--exn-abstract.html, and
download the draft from that page. - Christian
