I am not sure how much effort you really want to put into this, but if
you really want to know how it is done in a real compiler, this is
what I'd do. Get the GNAT Ada95 compiler (http://www.gnat.com
etc.). This is GPLed software, so you can get the source. The compiler
is part of the GCC family.


Interesting discussion about exception handling can be found here:
