I can recommend an article in Software Practice & Experience by Peter Lee a few years ago (1983, pp 389-405) which describes a series of macros and routines which add exception handling in the style of Ada or Clu to C. Basically they work by hiding a stack of setjmp/longjmp contexts inside a macro skeleton of BEGIN ... EXCEPT WHEN(exception1) ... WHEN(exception2) ... OTHERS ... END I can post the code from the article if there is enough interest. Robert Stroud, Computing Laboratory, University of Newcastle upon Tyne.
