Re:Size cost of C++ exception handling on embedded platforms

But still, it's a x49 increase between code with exceptions and without. It would be logical to assume that additional exception handling code is the same regardless of the original code size — but I'm not sure about how correct such an assumption is.

The exception support code is a constant overhead. The remaining difference in size will come from the unwind tables - but it's difficult to compare apples with apples there, because a program written to not use exceptions will need additional error handling logic, which has its own significant size overhead.
