Just highlighting a feature I found on my travels through the GCC docs: GCC also supports some language extensions such as __attribute__ (( __cleanup __ )) which allows C programs to do specific work (such as freeing heap buffers) during stack unwinding. This can be used to write C libraries which exceptions can be through _through_ safely with interoperating with C++.
