How would one go about implementing exceptions in C++?
I am particularly interested in the functionnality offered by
Ada exceptions - or better.. - i.e. raising exceptions,
and catching them, not necessarily in the same routine.

If it is possible to do, is it:
    i) clean -- i.e. easy to understand and easy to use
   ii) portable -- i.e. independent of the machine *and* of the compiler
  iii) efficient -- i.e. not run-time overhead when no exception is raised

If not possible, why? Is there a way to simulate it?

Please e-mail to me, I'll summarize to the net.
Thanks in advance,
  Magnus,  euakem@euas10.ericsson.se
