Following this discussion, for old behaviour, code should be compiled with --gc:arc --exceptions:setjmp --panics:on

Specifying rasises: [] on a proc should also get rid of the branching introduced by exceptions:goto when calling that proc.

[vitreo12]

I am not sure I understand the meaning. Do you mean that, if I specify raises: on a proc, the goto exceptions handler won't introduce any branching, since it sees that the proc can already raise specific things?

[Clyybber]

Yeah, if you specify raises: [] then the compiler will see that it can't raise, and thus won't introduce branching (with --panics:on that is).

Aaah, I see. Thanks! I'll keep it in mind :)
