| <dl> |
| <dt><a name="index-EH_005fRETURN_005fDATA_005fREGNO"></a>Macro: <strong>EH_RETURN_DATA_REGNO</strong> <em>(<var>N</var>)</em></dt> |
| <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. |
| </p></dd></dl> |
| |
| <dl> |
| <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. |
| </p></dd></dl> |
| |
| <dl> |
| <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. |
| </p></dd></dl> |
| |
| <dl> |
| <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. |
| </p></dd></dl> |

| <dl> |
| <dt><a name="index-ASM_005fPREFERRED_005fEH_005fDATA_005fFORMAT"></a>Macro: <strong>ASM_PREFERRED_EH_DATA_FORMAT</strong> <em>(<var>code</var>, <var>global</var>)</em></dt> |
| <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. |
| </p></dd></dl> |

| <dl> |
| <dt><a name="index-ASM_005fMAYBE_005fOUTPUT_005fENCODED_005fADDR_005fRTX"></a>Macro: <strong>ASM_MAYBE_OUTPUT_ENCODED_ADDR_RTX</strong> <em>(<var>file</var>, <var>encoding</var>, <var>size</var>, <var>addr</var>, <var>done</var>)</em></dt> |
| <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. |

| <dt><a name="index-MD_005fFALLBACK_005fFRAME_005fSTATE_005fFOR"></a>Macro: <strong>MD_FALLBACK_FRAME_STATE_FOR</strong> <em>(<var>context</var>, <var>fs</var>)</em></dt> |
| <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. |
| </p></dd></dl> |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt><a name="index-MD_005fHANDLE_005fUNWABI"></a>Macro: <strong>MD_HANDLE_UNWABI</strong> <em>(<var>context</var>, <var>fs</var>)</em></dt> |
| <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>. |
| </p></dd></dl> |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fUSES_005fWEAK_005fUNWIND_005fINFO"></a>Macro: <strong>TARGET_USES_WEAK_UNWIND_INFO</strong></dt> |
| <dd><p>A C expression that evaluates to true if the target requires unwind |
| info to be given comdat linkage. Define it to be <code>1</code> if comdat |
| linkage is necessary. The default is <code>0</code>. |
| </p></dd></dl> |
