[Novalug] C compilers

[Walt Smith]

I've used several C compilers in several different
capacities.  However, it's not all inclusive.

My ideal C compiler is one that does what most already do.
(including Bryans famous optimization better than a real 
human programmer <g>)

BUT -- this C would also will offer exception processing 
( try-catch )   without the added overhead of OOP , or to be 
more specific, without C++ "stuff".  ( I held my fingers which 
very much  wanted to type  "Exceptional processing" implying some 
special intelligence).

Bu C++ stuff, I mean the stuff that makes it fat..
classes and such....

I would like to know if such a compiler exists ( as efficient
as some "standard" C AND including exception processing.)

Would the right combination of options presented to gcc
provide the spec ?  Example ?

thanks,
Walt........
