The supervisor call handler receives the thrown exception as a parameter in the first parameter register R0. The code generator has to make sure that this parameter is copied into R0 during the prolog of the program exception handler. The handler does the following: 
-  * Get address of causing instruction into variable //addr// from SRR0. +  * increment counter 
-  * Read instruction at this address +  * Get address of causing instruction into variable //addr// from LR. 
-  * Determine from type of instruction which kind of exception was thrown+  * Read instruction at this address minus 4, because LR points to next instruction 
 +  * Determine from immediate value of instruction which kind of exception was thrown
   * If unchecked instruction: create exception such as //ClassCastException//, //ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException//, etc.   * If unchecked instruction: create exception such as //ClassCastException//, //ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException//, etc.
   * copy parameter //exception// into register R2   * copy parameter //exception// into register R2
   * copy parameter //addr// into register R3   * copy parameter //addr// into register R3
   * branch to compiler specific subroutine //handleException//.   * branch to compiler specific subroutine //handleException//.

 +The supervisor call handler can use volatile registers freely. It further uses a few nonvolatile registers. However, these must be saved onto the stack at the start of the method and must be restored at the end.
