// Implementation of Rust stack unwinding
//
// For background on exception handling and stack unwinding please see
// "Exception Handling in LLVM" (llvm.org/docs/ExceptionHandling.html) and
// documents linked from it.
// These are also good reads:
//     http://theofilos.cs.columbia.edu/blog/2013/09/22/base_abi/
//     http://monoinfinito.wordpress.com/series/exception-handling-in-c/
//     http://www.airs.com/blog/index.php?s=exception+frames
//
// ~~~ A brief summary ~~~
// Exception handling happens in two phases: a search phase and a cleanup phase.
//
// In both phases the unwinder walks stack frames from top to bottom using
// information from the stack frame unwind sections of the current process's
// modules ("module" here refers to an OS module, i.e. an executable or a
// dynamic library).
//
// For each stack frame, it invokes the associated "personality routine", whose
// address is also stored in the unwind info section.
//
// In the search phase, the job of a personality routine is to examine exception
// object being thrown, and to decide whether it should be caught at that stack
// frame.  Once the handler frame has been identified, cleanup phase begins.
//
// In the cleanup phase, personality routines invoke cleanup code associated
// with their stack frames (i.e. destructors).  Once stack has been unwound down
// to the handler frame level, unwinding stops and the last personality routine
// transfers control to its' catch block.
//
// ~~~ Frame unwind info registration ~~~
// Each module has its' own frame unwind info section (usually ".eh_frame"), and
// unwinder needs to know about all of them in order for unwinding to be able to
// cross module boundaries.
//
// On some platforms, like Linux, this is achieved by dynamically enumerating
// currently loaded modules via the dl_iterate_phdr() API and finding all
// .eh_frame sections.
//
// Others, like Windows, require modules to actively register their unwind info
// sections by calling __register_frame_info() API at startup.  In the latter
// case it is essential that there is only one copy of the unwinder runtime in
// the process.  This is usually achieved by linking to the dynamic version of
// the unwind runtime.
//
// Currently Rust uses unwind runtime provided by libgcc.

// We could implement our personality routine in pure Rust, however exception
// info decoding is tedious.  More importantly, personality routines have to
// handle various platform quirks, which are not fun to maintain.  For this
// reason, we attempt to reuse personality routine of the C language:
// __gcc_personality_v0.
//
// Since C does not support exception catching, __gcc_personality_v0 simply
// always returns _URC_CONTINUE_UNWIND in search phase, and always returns
// _URC_INSTALL_CONTEXT (i.e. "invoke cleanup code") in cleanup phase.
//
// This is pretty close to Rust's exception handling approach, except that Rust
// does have a single "catch-all" handler at the bottom of each task's stack.
// So we have two versions:
// - rust_eh_personality, used by all cleanup landing pads, which never catches,
//   so the behavior of __gcc_personality_v0 is perfectly adequate there, and
// - rust_eh_personality_catch, used only by rust_try(), which always catches.
//   This is achieved by overriding the return value in search phase to always
//   say "catch!".
