## Description

This option enables exception handling table generation. The -fno-exceptions option disables exception handling table generation, resulting in smaller code. When this option is used, any use of exception handling constructs (such as try blocks and throw statements) will produce an error. Exception specifications are parsed but ignored. It also undefines the preprocessor symbol __EXCEPTIONS.
