A month or so ago someone was asking about linking up o/s exceptions to the C++ exception throwing system. People might find this interesting:

Abstract: "We have implemented a complete kernel level run-time support for C++ in the Linux kernel. In particular our run-time support enables the full use of C++ exceptions in the Linux kernel, but notably also includes support for global constructors and destructors, and dynamic type checking."
Don't forget to also read http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/2067 the relevant quote being "Trust me - writing kernel code in C++ is a BLOODY STUPID IDEA."
