 [{{ :dev:crosscompiler:backend_arm:exceptionstackframearm.png?350&direct | //Stack frame for exception method//}}]
+For efficiency, the exception stack frame does not contain space for locals. Hence, you are not allowed to use so many locals that this becomes necessary. This will be checked for when compiling exception methods.
 Optimization: The ARM architecture has lots of EXTR's. One could use half of them in normal methods and the other half in exception methods. For such a case all normal methods which could be called from within exception methods must be translated a second time with the second set. The compiler would have to find out how to handle each method.
