\begin{center}\textbf{Abstract}\end{center}

The \CFA (Cforall) programming language is an evolutionary refinement of
the C programming language, adding modern programming features without
changing the programming paradigms of C.
One of these modern programming features is more powerful error handling
through the addition of an exception handling mechanism (EHM).

This thesis covers the design and implementation of the \CFA EHM,
along with a review of the other required \CFA features.
The EHM includes common features of termination exception handling and
similar support for resumption exception handling.
The design of both has been adapted to utilize other tools \CFA provides,
as well as fit with the assertion based interfaces of the language.

The EHM has been implemented into the \CFA compiler and run-time environment.
Although it has not yet been optimized, performance testing has shown it has
comparable performance to other EHM's,
which is sufficient for use in current \CFA programs.
