Yes, it is section 12.4.2.  It says so directly: Any ISO 99 C compiler
MUST implement Mikael Lyngvig's self-invented C exception handling
mechanism.

Joke aside, obviously there's no such thing.

But isn't there any room for play and experimentation in Tiny C?  If so, I
am sorry to have wasted your time and will happily retract myself from
this list.

I think it is a highly usable change that only takes a few hours, for an
experienced Tiny C coder, to add.  As I said, it should be enabled by a
special command-line option, such as -exceptions, so that Tiny C can
remain mostly ISO 99 compliant while providing a wonderful extra feature.

I won't post any more about this - I promise!

Sincerely,
Mikael Lyngvig
