Exceptions are a form of non-local return: they transfer control flow to a function higher up the stack to report the error.

On most modern platforms, exceptions are implemented using a *table-driven unwinder*.
The exact details differ between 64-bit Windows and *NIX systems, but the underlying mechanisms are very similar.
The exact details differ between 64-bit Windows and \*NIX systems, but the underlying mechanisms are very similar.
For each function, the compiler emits a table that describes how to unwind the stack.
A generic unwinder library can read this information and pop each frame off the call stack, one at a time.
Language-specific exceptions are built on top of this.
