[M3devel] barrier labels?

I still don't see it, in the C++ frontend.

There is:

void
expand_label (tree label)
{
...
  if (DECL_NONLOCAL (label))
    {
...      nonlocal_goto_handler_labels
    = gen_rtx_EXPR_LIST (VOIDmode, label_r,
                 nonlocal_goto_handler_labels);
    }

but I don't think this works until later.

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.
