...he function it calls, right? I'm speaking from the point of view of an implementor of a new programming language who wants to interoperate with C++. I've already got code that can decode the Microsoft RTTI info coming from C++ exceptions, and the pointers to those can be extracted with SEH GetExceptionPointers, etc. To support catching exceptions in my language, or at least calling cleanups while unwinding, I really don't care about the C++ personality function. After all my language might not even have the concept of (nested) try/catch blocks. The custom personality function does have to be supplied...

After a long tale of sorrow and woe, my colleagues and I stand here before you defeated. The Itanium EH representation is not amenable to implementing MSVC-compatible exceptions. We need a new representation that preserves information about how try-catch blocks are nested.
