   Implementing Exception Handling in a VM   
   14 Aug 06 15:09:37   
   
   From: first.last@orcon.net.nz   
      
   Some time ago I wrote a simple Pascal-like language that ran on an   
   equally simple VM--all implemented in Delphi. I'd like to update the   
   language to use exception handling constructs such as try-except-end and   
   try-finally-end.   
      
   Given that the implementing language (Delphi, in this case) has SEH, can   
   I leverage this fact to add exception support in my Pascal-like   
   language? If so, where might I learn how to do this?   
      
   You may have guessed that I'm not a CS graduate, so there are plenty of   
   holes in my understanding of these matters.   
      
   Any suggestions appreciated.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Mark.
