// 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.

//    is encoded in the UNWIND_X86_EBP_FRAME_OFFSET bits.  The registers saved
//    are encoded in the UNWIND_X86_EBP_FRAME_REGISTERS bits as five 3-bit entries.
//    Each entry contains which register to restore.
// UNWIND_X86_MODE_STACK_IMMD:
//    A "frameless" (EBP not used as frame pointer) function with a small 
//    constant stack size.  To return, a constant (encoded in the compact
//    unwind encoding) is added to the ESP. Then the return is done by
//    popping the stack into the pc.
//    All non-volatile registers that need to be restored must have been saved
//    on the stack immediately after the return address.  The stack_size/4 is
//    encoded in the UNWIND_X86_FRAMELESS_STACK_SIZE (max stack size is 1024).

//    stack size.  This case is like the previous, except the stack size is too
//    large to encode in the compact unwind encoding.  Instead it requires that 
//    the function contains "subl $nnnnnnnn,ESP" in its prolog.  The compact 
//    encoding contains the offset to the nnnnnnnn value in the function in
//    UNWIND_X86_FRAMELESS_STACK_SIZE.  
// UNWIND_X86_MODE_DWARF:
//    No compact unwind encoding is available.  Instead the low 24-bits of the
//    compact encoding is the offset of the DWARF FDE in the __eh_frame section.

// For arm64 there are three modes for the compact unwind encoding:
// UNWIND_ARM64_MODE_FRAME:
//    This is a standard arm64 prolog where FP/LR are immediately pushed on the
//    stack, then SP is copied to FP. If there are any non-volatile registers
//    saved, then are copied into the stack frame in pairs in a contiguous
//    range right below the saved FP/LR pair.  Any subset of the five X pairs 
//    and four D pairs can be saved, but the memory layout must be in register
//    number order.  
// UNWIND_ARM64_MODE_FRAMELESS:
//    A "frameless" leaf function, where FP/LR are not saved. The return address 
//    remains in LR throughout the function. If any non-volatile registers
//    are saved, they must be pushed onto the stack before any stack space is
//    allocated for local variables.  The stack sized (including any saved
//    non-volatile registers) divided by 16 is encoded in the bits 
//    UNWIND_ARM64_FRAMELESS_STACK_SIZE_MASK.
// UNWIND_ARM64_MODE_DWARF:
//    No compact unwind encoding is available.  Instead the low 24-bits of the
//    compact encoding is the offset of the DWARF FDE in the __eh_frame section.
//    This mode is never used in object files.  It is only generated by the 
//    linker in final linked images which have only DWARF unwind info for a
//    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.
