try/finally in GNU C

[Gabriel Dos Reis]

Hi,

  while looking into a recent mismatch between GCC-4.x and a C dialect
EH implemented as setjmp/longjmp, I recalled there was a talk about
extending GNU C with __try/__finally construct:  

  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-11/msg00239.html

What happened to that project?  Is it dead for good?

[ the compiler for this C-dialect uses GCC/gcc as "backend" ]


Thanks,

-- Gaby
