The support for precise exceptions in Java, combined with frequent checks for runtime exceptions, leads to severe limitations on the compiler’s ability to perform program optimiz...
One of the challenges present to a Java compiler is Java’s frequent use of runtime exceptions. These exceptions affect performance directly by requiring explicit checks, as wel...

It is difficult to write programs that behave correctly in the presence of exceptions. We describe a dataflow analysis for finding a certain class of mistakes made while programs h...
Exception-handling constructs provide a mechanism for raising exceptions, and a facility for designating protected code by attaching exception handlers to blocks of code. Despite ...
Java exception checks are designed to ensure that any faulting instruction causing a hardware exception does not terminate the program abnormally. These checks, however, impose so...
