   -- Notes --
   -----------

   --  The current model implemented for the stack of occurrences is a
   --  simplification of previous attempts, which all prooved to be flawed or
   --  would have needed significant additional circuitry to be made to work
   --  correctly.

   --  We now represent every propagation by a new entry on the stack, which
   --  means that an exception occurrence may appear more than once (e.g. when
   --  it is reraised during the course of its own handler).

   --  This may seem overcostly compared to the C++ model as implemented in
   --  the g++ v3 libstd. This is actually understandable when one considers
   --  the extra variations of possible run-time configurations induced by the
   --  freedom offered by the Save_Occurrence/Reraise_Occurrence public
   --  interface.

   --  The basic point is that arranging for an occurrence to always appear at
   --  most once on the stack requires a way to determine if a given occurence
   --  is already there, which is not as easy as it might seem.

   --  An attempt was made to use the Private_Data pointer for this purpose.
   --  It did not work because:

   --  1/ The Private_Data has to be saved by Save_Occurrence to be usable
   --     as a key in case of a later reraise,

   --  2/ There is no easy way to synchronize End_Handler for an occurrence
   --     and the data attached to potential copies, so these copies may end
   --     up pointing to stale data. Moreover ...

   --  3/ The same address may be reused for different occurrences, which
   --     defeats the idea of using it as a key.

   --  The example below illustrates:

   --  Saved_CE : Exception_Occurrence;
   --
   --  begin
   --    raise Constraint_Error;
   --  exception
   --    when CE: others =>
   --      Save_Occurrence (Saved_CE, CE);      <= Saved_CE.PDA = CE.PDA
   --  end;
   --
   --                                           <= Saved_CE.PDA is stale (!)
   --
   --  begin
   --    raise Program_Error;                   <= Saved_CE.PDA = PE.PDA (!!)
   --  exception
   --    when others =>
   --      Reraise_Occurrence (Saved_CE);
   --  end;

   --  Not releasing the Private_Data via End_Handler could be an option,
   --  but making this to work while still avoiding memory leaks is far
   --  from trivial.

   --  The current scheme has the advantage of beeing simple, and induces
   --  extra costs only in reraise cases which is acceptable.
