duke@435 32 // This file provides the basic support for exception handling in the VM.
duke@435 33 // Note: We do not use C++ exceptions to avoid compiler dependencies and
duke@435 34 // unpredictable performance.
duke@435 35 //
duke@435 36 // Scheme: Exceptions are stored with the thread. There is never more
duke@435 37 // than one pending exception per thread. All functions that can throw
duke@435 38 // an exception carry a THREAD argument (usually the last argument and
duke@435 39 // declared with the TRAPS macro). Throwing an exception means setting
duke@435 40 // a pending exception in the thread. Upon return from a function that
duke@435 41 // can throw an exception, we must check if an exception is pending.
duke@435 42 // The CHECK macros do this in a convenient way. Carrying around the
duke@435 43 // thread provides also convenient access to it (e.g. for Handle
duke@435 44 // creation, w/o the need for recomputation).
