Confirmed. Most C++ programmers have no idea of what is needed behind 
the scene to make all those nice syntax constructs work.

AUTOMATIC DESTRUCTION MUST WORK IN THE CASE OF A THROW.

So, since the compiler can't know if a throw will go through the 
procedure that you are compiling it must generate a description of all 
stack movements just in case.

The stack unwinding machinery needs information about push/pop and any 
stack addition/subtraction. This is described in detail by gcc/MSVC and 
other c++ compilers, and by lcc-win, since I do generate that 
information also.

Surprised?

lcc-win generates that information because even if it never invokes a 
throw, it could be that a throw passes through tghe code of lcc-win
when the lcc-win libraries are used with C++.
