# fexceptions

Enables exception handling table generation. This feature is only available for ifort.

## Syntax

Linux: | -fexceptions -fno-exceptions

macOS: | -fexceptions -fno-exceptions

Windows: | None

## Arguments

None

## Default

-fno-exceptions | Exception handling table generation is disabled.

## Description

This option enables C++ exception handling table generation, preventing Fortran routines in mixed-language applications from interfering with exception handling between C++ routines. The -fno-exceptions option disables C++ exception handling table generation, resulting in smaller code. When this option is used, any use of C++ exception handling constructs (such as try blocks and throw statements) when a Fortran routine is in the call chain will produce an error.
