However, if you're looking for information on potential drawbacks of exception mechanisms (other than the discussion in my paper), you could look at cases where their use has been restricted in a particular domain. For example, the SPARK Ada subset might have some restrictions in this area; see http://www.praxis-cs.co.uk/. There also might be some guidance in the ISO technical report on the use of Ada in high-integrity systems (my copy is at work, so I don't have a better reference handy...) "Antonio F.
