Compiling Exceptions CorrectlyTools Hutton, Graham and Wright, Joel (2004) Compiling Exceptions Correctly. In: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Mathematics of Program Construction, July 2004, Stirling, Scotland. Full text not available from this repository.AbstractExceptions are an important feature of modern programming languages, but their compilation has traditionally been viewed as an advanced topic. In this article we show that the basic method of compiling exceptions using stack unwinding can be explained and verified both simply and precisely, using elementary functional programming techniques. In particular, we develop a compiler for a small language with exceptions, together with a proof of its correctness.
