[M3devel] Enumeration or subrange value out of range

[Jay K]

The gcc intermediate form does support exception handling.
Efficient exception handling doesn't motivate gcc to llvm switch.
As well, generating C++ is a good option for this reason.
  At least on non-NT/Tru64/VMS systems.
As well, since this is multiple axes, an initial C backend could generate code
like we do today -- pthread_getspecific/setjmp.

Switching to LLVM is a big task.

Then obviously you are hitting blind alley there. Go other route.
For example, LLVM route.

 C is fairly lingua franca, but how do I *efficiently* *portably*
 implement exception handling? NT, Tru64, VMS all extend C slightly
 to allow it. I don't believe C on any other system does.
