Perhaps you could emit C++ code that is nearly identical to C code.
This then gives you the exception handling.  For targets that don't have
a C++ compiler, generate C.  Exception handling will just have to be
broken on those.  In terms of everything on the list and game consoles,
this should work, no?

It might be a problem for the microcontrollers mentioned elsewhere in
this thread, since those may only have the C compilers available.  I can
live with this.  (They'll only be missing exception handling support...
I suspect there'll be bigger problems on these machines.)

Maybe there is a better way?

At any rate, please don't just give up on this!  GAME CONSOLES Walter!
GAME CONSOLES!
