this might be relevant: see code that Swig generates when writing C++ wrappers :
eg:
----
// Support for throwing D exceptions from C/C++.
typedef enum {
SWIG_DException = 0,
SWIG_DIllegalArgumentException,
SWIG_DIllegalElementException,
SWIG_DIOException,
SWIG_DNoSuchElementException,
} SWIG_DExceptionCodes;
typedef void (* SWIG_DExceptionCallback_t)(const char *);
