   the runtime library share this file. */

/* The runtime flag flag_new_exceptions is used to determine whether the 
   compiler supports the new runtime typechecking mechanism or not. Under
   the new model, runtime info is contained in the exception table, and
   the __throw() library routine determines which handler to call based
   on the results of a call to a matching function provided by the expcetion
   thrower.  Otherwise the old scheme of calling any handler which matches
   an exception range is used, and the handler is responsible for all
   checking of runtime conditions. If the handler wasn't suppose to
   get the exception, it performs a re-throw. */

/* The handler_label field MUST be the first field in this structure. The 
   __throw()  library routine expects uses __eh_stub() from except.c, which
   simply dereferences the context pointer to get the handler.
   The routine get_dynamic_handler_chain() also has a dependancy on
   the location of 'dynamic_handler_chain'. If its location is changed, 
   that routine must be modified as well. */
