Yes, it is section 12.4.2. It says so directly: Any ISO 99 C compiler
MUST implement Mikael Lyngvig's self-invented C exception handling
mechanism.
Joke aside, obviously there's no such thing.
But isn't there any room for play and experimentation in Tiny C? If so, I
am sorry to have wasted your time and will happily retract myself from
this list.
I think it is a highly usable change that only takes a few hours, for an
experienced Tiny C coder, to add. As I said, it should be enabled by a
special command-line option, such as -exceptions, so that Tiny C can
remain mostly ISO 99 compliant while providing a wonderful extra feature.
I won't post any more about this - I promise!
Sincerely,
Mikael Lyngvig
