Have you figured out a way to raise a c++ exception from the wince
handler?

Invalid memory accesses don't cause exceptions under Linux.

Also, it appears gcc may optimize out c++ exception handlers if it
doesn't think the code can create an exception.  It thinks it is
running under a linux like environment and the optimizer wont even try
to handle memory raised exceptions.

That is certainly what I'd like to see.  :-)

Thanks for looking at this.
