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://mentorembedded.github.io/cxx-abi/abi-eh.html //! 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, the unwinder invokes each personality routine again. //! This time it decides which (if any) cleanup code needs to be run for //! the current stack frame. If so, the control is transferred to a special branch //! in the function body, the "landing pad", which invokes destructors, frees memory, //! etc. At the end of the landing pad, control is transferred back to the unwinder //! and unwinding resumes. //! //! Once stack has been unwound down to the handler frame level, unwinding stops //! and the last personality routine transfers control to the catch block. //! //! ## `eh_personality` and `eh_unwind_resume` //! //! These language items are used by the compiler when generating unwind info. //! The first one is the personality routine described above. The second one //! allows compilation target to customize the process of resuming unwind at the //! end of the landing pads. `eh_unwind_resume` is used only if `custom_unwind_resume` //! flag in the target options is set. //! //! ## Frame unwind info registration //! //! Each module's image contains a frame unwind info section (usually ".eh_frame"). //! When a module is loaded/unloaded into the process, the unwinder must be informed //! about the location of this section in memory. The methods of achieving that vary //! by the platform. //! On some (e.g. Linux), the unwinder can discover unwind info sections on its own //! (by dynamically enumerating currently loaded modules via the dl_iterate_phdr() API //! and finding their ".eh_frame" sections); //! Others, like Windows, require modules to actively register their unwind info //! sections via unwinder API (see `rust_eh_register_frames`/`rust_eh_unregister_frames`). #![allow(dead_code)] #![allow(unused_imports)] use prelude::v1::*; use any::Any; use boxed; use cmp; use panicking::{self,PANIC_COUNT}; use fmt; use intrinsics; use mem; use sync::atomic::{self, Ordering}; use sys_common::mutex::Mutex; // The actual unwinding implementation is cfg'd here, and we've got two current // implementations.
