Intuitively, for each target :math:`\{\tagaddr^?~\instr^\ast\}` of a |CATCHadm|, :math:`\instr^\ast` is the *continuation* to execute
when the handler catches a thrown exception with tag |tagaddr|, or for any exception, when a target specifies no tag address.
In that case, we say that the exception is handled by the exception handler |CATCHadm|.
In that case, the exception is handled by the exception handler |CATCHadm|.
If this list of targets is empty, or if the tag address of the thrown exception is not in the handler's mapping and there is no |CATCHALL| clause, then the exception will be rethrown.

This definition allows to index active labels surrounding a :ref:`branch <syntax-br>` or :ref:`return <syntax-return>` instruction.

In order to be able to break jumping over exception handlers and caught exceptions, we must allow for these new structured administrative control instructions to appear after labels in block contexts, by extending block context as follows.

When a throw of the form :math:`val^m (\THROWadm~a)` occurs, search for the maximal surrounding throw context :math:`T` is performed,
which means any other values, labels, frames, and |CAUGHTadm| instructions surrounding the throw :math:`val^m (\THROWadm~a)` are popped,
until an exception handler (corresponding to a try block) that :ref:`handles the exception <syntax-handler>` is found.
Then the values :math:`val^m:[t^m]` are appended to the tag address :math:`a` into a new |CAUGHTadm| instruction, which is pushed onto the stack.

In other words, when a throw occurs, normal execution halts and exceptional execution begins, until the throw
is the continuation (i.e., in the place of a :math:`\_`) of a throw context in a catching try block.
