[M3devel] barrier labels?

[Jay K]

Tony, thanks for the pointer..though I haven't been able to find it yet.
I also looked for related code in 3.3 and 3.4, as I think 3.3 was current at the time.

The point is to make sure that flow analysis knows that the exception handler label targets are important "non-local" label targets. I do remember that DECL_NONLOCAL was *not* the right thing to do (that is used for proper non-local outer-scope goto targets for nested functions) and I remember the SP hacks being used with that (they need to recover from targeting from an inner-scope function and clean up the stack accordingly). I suggest poking around in what the C++ exception handling now does with table-driven exception targets.
