|
|
<dd><p>A C expression whose value is the <var>N</var>th register number used for
|
|
data by exception handlers, or <code>INVALID_REGNUM</code> if fewer than
|
|
<var>N</var> registers are usable.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The exception handling library routines communicate with the exception
|
|
handlers via a set of agreed upon registers. Ideally these registers
|
|
should be call-clobbered; it is possible to use call-saved registers,
|
|
but may negatively impact code size. The target must support at least
|
|
2 data registers, but should define 4 if there are enough free registers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You must define this macro if you want to support call frame exception
|
|
handling like that provided by DWARF 2.

<dt><a name="index-EH_005fRETURN_005fSTACKADJ_005fRTX"></a>Macro: <strong>EH_RETURN_STACKADJ_RTX</strong></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>A C expression whose value is RTL representing a location in which
|
|
to store a stack adjustment to be applied before function return.
|
|
This is used to unwind the stack to an exception handler’s call frame.
|
|
It will be assigned zero on code paths that return normally.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Typically this is a call-clobbered hard register that is otherwise
|
|
untouched by the epilogue, but could also be a stack slot.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Do not define this macro if the stack pointer is saved and restored
|
|
by the regular prolog and epilog code in the call frame itself; in
|
|
this case, the exception handling library routines will update the
|
|
stack location to be restored in place. Otherwise, you must define
|
|
this macro if you want to support call frame exception handling like
|
|
that provided by DWARF 2.

<dt><a name="index-EH_005fRETURN_005fHANDLER_005fRTX"></a>Macro: <strong>EH_RETURN_HANDLER_RTX</strong></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>A C expression whose value is RTL representing a location in which
|
|
to store the address of an exception handler to which we should
|
|
return. It will not be assigned on code paths that return normally.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Typically this is the location in the call frame at which the normal
|
|
return address is stored. For targets that return by popping an
|
|
address off the stack, this might be a memory address just below
|
|
the <em>target</em> call frame rather than inside the current call
|
|
frame. If defined, <code>EH_RETURN_STACKADJ_RTX</code> will have already
|
|
been assigned, so it may be used to calculate the location of the
|
|
target call frame.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Some targets have more complex requirements than storing to an
|
|
address calculable during initial code generation. In that case
|
|
the <code>eh_return</code> instruction pattern should be used instead.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If you want to support call frame exception handling, you must
|
|
define either this macro or the <code>eh_return</code> instruction pattern.

<dt><a name="index-RETURN_005fADDR_005fOFFSET"></a>Macro: <strong>RETURN_ADDR_OFFSET</strong></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>If defined, an integer-valued C expression for which rtl will be generated
|
|
to add it to the exception handler address before it is searched in the
|
|
exception handling tables, and to subtract it again from the address before
|
|
using it to return to the exception handler.

|
|
<dd><p>This macro chooses the encoding of pointers embedded in the exception
|
|
handling sections. If at all possible, this should be defined such
|
|
that the exception handling section will not require dynamic relocations,
|
|
and so may be read-only.
|

</p>

<p><var>code</var> is 0 for data, 1 for code labels, 2 for function pointers.
|

<var>global</var> is true if the symbol may be affected by dynamic relocations.

The macro should return a combination of the <code>DW_EH_PE_*</code> defines
|
|
as found in <samp>dwarf2.h</samp>.
|

</p>

<p>If this macro is not defined, pointers will not be encoded but

represented directly.

|
|
<dd><p>This macro allows the target to emit whatever special magic is required
|
|
to represent the encoding chosen by <code>ASM_PREFERRED_EH_DATA_FORMAT</code>.
|
|
Generic code takes care of pc-relative and indirect encodings; this must
|
|
be defined if the target uses text-relative or data-relative encodings.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This is a C statement that branches to <var>done</var> if the format was
|
|
handled. <var>encoding</var> is the format chosen, <var>size</var> is the number
|
|
of bytes that the format occupies, <var>addr</var> is the <code>SYMBOL_REF</code>
|

to be emitted.

|
|
<dd><p>This macro allows the target to add CPU and operating system specific
|
|
code to the call-frame unwinder for use when there is no unwind data
|
|
available. The most common reason to implement this macro is to unwind
|
|
through signal frames.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This macro is called from <code>uw_frame_state_for</code> in
|
|
<samp>unwind-dw2.c</samp>, <samp>unwind-dw2-xtensa.c</samp> and
|
|
<samp>unwind-ia64.c</samp>. <var>context</var> is an <code>_Unwind_Context</code>;
|
|
<var>fs</var> is an <code>_Unwind_FrameState</code>. Examine <code>context->ra</code>
|
|
for the address of the code being executed and <code>context->cfa</code> for
|
|
the stack pointer value. If the frame can be decoded, the register
|
|
save addresses should be updated in <var>fs</var> and the macro should
|
|
evaluate to <code>_URC_NO_REASON</code>. If the frame cannot be decoded,
|
|
the macro should evaluate to <code>_URC_END_OF_STACK</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For proper signal handling in Java this macro is accompanied by
|
|
<code>MAKE_THROW_FRAME</code>, defined in <samp>libjava/include/*-signal.h</samp> headers.

<dd><p>This macro allows the target to add operating system specific code to the
|
|
call-frame unwinder to handle the IA-64 <code>.unwabi</code> unwinding directive,
|
|
usually used for signal or interrupt frames.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This macro is called from <code>uw_update_context</code> in libgcc’s
|
|
<samp>unwind-ia64.c</samp>. <var>context</var> is an <code>_Unwind_Context</code>;
|
|
<var>fs</var> is an <code>_Unwind_FrameState</code>. Examine <code>fs->unwabi</code>
|
|
for the abi and context in the <code>.unwabi</code> directive. If the
|
|
<code>.unwabi</code> directive can be handled, the register save addresses should
|
|
be updated in <var>fs</var>.
