//! Implementation of Rust stack unwinding
//!
//! 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, personality routines invoke cleanup code associated
//! with their stack frames (i.e. destructors).  Once stack has been unwound down
//! to the handler frame level, unwinding stops and the last personality routine
//! transfers control to its catch block.
//!
//! ## Frame unwind info registration
//!
//! Each module has its own frame unwind info section (usually ".eh_frame"), and
//! unwinder needs to know about all of them in order for unwinding to be able to
//! cross module boundaries.
//!
//! On some platforms, like Linux, this is achieved by dynamically enumerating
//! currently loaded modules via the dl_iterate_phdr() API and finding all
//! .eh_frame sections.
//!
//! Others, like Windows, require modules to actively register their unwind info
//! sections by calling __register_frame_info() API at startup.  In the latter
//! case it is essential that there is only one copy of the unwinder runtime in
//! the process.  This is usually achieved by linking to the dynamic version of
//! the unwind runtime.
//!
//! Currently Rust uses unwind runtime provided by libgcc.

///   may result in corruption of the outer try/catch block's state, especially
///   if this is used within a thread itself.
///
/// * It is not sound to trigger unwinding while already unwinding. Rust threads
///   have runtime checks in place to ensure this invariant, but it is not
///   guaranteed that a rust thread is in place when invoking this function.
///   Unwinding twice can lead to resource leaks where some destructors are not
