Unfortunately our next release will be using gcc 3.4.2. Looking at the 4.0 code, I can see that the exit instrumentation is done by wrapping a try finally around the entire function. Backporting this to 3.4.2 isn't as straightforward as I hoped. I think something similar could be done in tree-optimize.c's tree_rest_of_compilation() but it looks like some of the tree/RTL methods have changed in 4.0. Are there any examples of wrapping a method with a try finally clause and calling a given method compatible with 3.4.2? - Chris
