33 * The cxxabi.h header provides a set of public definitions for types and
34 * functions defined by the Itanium C++ ABI specification. For reference, see
35 * the ABI specification here:
37 * http://sourcery.mentor.com/public/cxx-abi/abi.html
39 * All deviations from this specification, unless otherwise noted, are
44 namespace __cxxabiv1
{
48 * Function type to call when an unexpected exception is encountered.
50 typedef void (*unexpected_handler
)();
52 * Function type to call when an unrecoverable condition is encountered.
54 typedef void (*terminate_handler
)();
58 * Structure used as a header on thrown exceptions. This is the same layout as
59 * defined by the Itanium ABI spec, so should be interoperable with any other
60 * implementation of this spec, such as GNU libsupc++.
62 * This structure is allocated when an exception is thrown. Unwinding happens
63 * in two phases, the first looks for a handler and the second installs the
64 * context. This structure stores a cache of the handler location between
65 * phase 1 and phase 2. Unfortunately, cleanup information is not cached, so
66 * must be looked up in both phases. This happens for two reasons. The first
67 * is that we don't know how many frames containing cleanups there will be, and
68 * we should avoid dynamic allocation during unwinding (the exception may be
69 * reporting that we've run out of memory). The second is that finding
70 * cleanups is much cheaper than finding handlers, because we don't have to
71 * look at the type table at all.
73 * Note: Several fields of this structure have not-very-informative names.
74 * These are taken from the ABI spec and have not been changed to make it
75 * easier for people referring to to the spec while reading this code.
77 struct __cxa_exception
81 * Reference count. Used to support the C++11 exception_ptr class. This
82 * is prepended to the structure in 64-bit mode and squeezed in to the
83 * padding left before the 64-bit aligned _Unwind_Exception at the end in
86 * Note that it is safe to extend this structure at the beginning, rather
87 * than the end, because the public API for creating it returns the address
88 * of the end (where the exception object can be stored).

113 #if defined(__arm__) && !defined(__ARM_DWARF_EH__)
