// Compilers can emit standard Dwarf FDEs in the __TEXT,__eh_frame section
// of object files. Or compilers can emit compact unwind information in
// the __LD,__compact_unwind section.
//
// When the linker creates a final linked image, it will create a
// __TEXT,__unwind_info section. This section is a small and fast way for the
// runtime to access unwind info for any given function. If the compiler emitted
// compact unwind info for the function, that compact unwind info will be encoded
// in the __TEXT,__unwind_info section. If the compiler emitted dwarf unwind info,
// the __TEXT,__unwind_info section will contain the offset of the FDE in the
// __TEXT,__eh_frame section in the final linked image.
//
// Note: Previously, the linker would transform some dwarf unwind infos into
// compact unwind info. But that is fragile and no longer done.
//
// The compact unwind endoding is a 32-bit value which encoded in an architecture
// specific way, which registers to restore from where, and how to unwind out
// of the function.

//
// Relocatable Object Files: __LD,__compact_unwind
//
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// A compiler can generated compact unwind information for a function by adding
// a "row" to the __LD,__compact_unwind section. This section has the
// S_ATTR_DEBUG bit set, so the section will be ignored by older linkers.
// It is removed by the new linker, so never ends up in final executables.
// This section is a table, initially with one row per function (that needs
// unwind info). The table columns and some conceptual entries are:
//
// range-start pointer to start of function/range
// range-length
// compact-unwind-encoding 32-bit encoding
// personality-function or zero if no personality function
// lsda or zero if no LSDA data
//
// The length and encoding fields are 32-bits. The other are all pointer sized.
//
// In x86_64 assembly, these entry would look like:
//
// .section __LD,__compact_unwind,regular,debug
//
// #compact unwind for _foo
// .quad _foo
// .set L1,LfooEnd-_foo
// .long L1
// .long 0x01010001
// .quad 0
// .quad 0
//
// #compact unwind for _bar
// .quad _bar
// .set L2,LbarEnd-_bar
// .long L2
// .long 0x01020011
// .quad __gxx_personality
// .quad except_tab1
//
//
// Notes: There is no need for any labels in the the __compact_unwind section.
// The use of the .set directive is to force the evaluation of the
// range-length at assembly time, instead of generating relocations.
//
// To support future compiler optimizations where which non-volatile registers
// are saved changes within a function (e.g. delay saving non-volatiles until
// necessary), there can by multiple lines in the __compact_unwind table for one
// function, each with a different (non-overlapping) range and each with
// different compact unwind encodings that correspond to the non-volatiles
// saved at that range of the function.
//
// If a particular function is so wacky that there is no compact unwind way
// to encode it, then the compiler can emit traditional dwarf unwind info.
// The runtime will use which ever is available.
//
// Runtime support for compact unwind encodings are only available on 10.6
// and later. So, the compiler should not generate it when targeting pre-10.6.
