They can, actually; there is no problem with this at the ABI/runtime level.

I think what you mean is that most libraries/frameworks don't make guarantees 
about properly handling exceptions thrown into them, i.e. from a call into 
external code. Some C++ libraries do guarantee this (especially libc++), and 
even without guarantees a typical C++ lib using RAII will be relatively safe, 
but Objective-C code usually isn't written to be exception-safe, and C code of 
course can't be.
