is it somehow possible to also be notified if a function/method is left
with a 'throw'? Or, would it be possible to patch gcc like that? I had a
quick look into function.c but it seems not to be as straight- forward as
the entry/exit instrumentation (What is probably the reason it isn't
implemented yet). Or is it even impossible for some reason?

In 4.0 and above -finstruction-functions actually emits the exit
function call for exceptions too, it is wrapped in a "finally" clause.

Hi,


sorry, I accidentially didn't reply to the list the last time; so once again:

is it possible to backport this new behaviour to gcc 3.4.x ? (I am currently
using gcc 3.4.6). I'd have a look in the differences between gcc 3.4 and 4.x,
but maybe you know already that this is difficult/improbable/already done...

This code was rewritten for tree-ssa; so it is not possible to merge it back without the whole tree-ssa code merged back. If I was you, I would move forward as 3.4 is no longer maintained. Likewise for 4.0 and 4.1.


Thanks,
Tim
