DWARF exception handling, as used in GNU/Linux systems, has essentially zero overhead as long as an exception isn't thrown. However, this does mean that in the rare case when an exception is thrown, there is some searching to do. On balance this is a good compromise, as long as throwing an exception really is rare.
