How about simply setting aside a 100kb of memory as a pool for

1MB would still be tiny.
After all, it's not like exceptions are common or happen in
complex ways.
Does anyone have a proper solution to this problem? I'd like
nogc exception handling with run-time generated args.
You shall use a static per-thread Region allocator[1] backed by
Mallocator[2].
Then you just make[3] exceptions inside it and throw them.
So you can allocate and chain exceptions until you end the memory
established on creation.
Whenever you don't need the exception chain anymore (i.e.: you
catched them and program is back in "normal" mode, you just reset
the region allocator, so you have all of your memory again, for
the next exception chain).
