Exception Handling in Jato

As of commit 361b18c ("jit, x86: spill exception object reference at exception handler entry"), Jato is finally able to compile and run the following Java code:

  public class Exceptions {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
      try {
        throwException();
      } catch (Exception e) {
//      System.out.println("Exception caught");
      }
    }

    private static void throwException() {
       throw new RuntimeException();
    }
}

And yes, if you remove the comments from the S.o.println() call, Jato will crash and burn. :-)

C++0x

C++0x is coming out late this year. Be afraid, be very afraid.
