33 Exception frame information is emitted for every function in the
34 .eh_frame or .debug_frame sections. Simple information for a function
35 with no exceptions looks like this:
38 .4byte .LLCIE1 / Length of Common Information Entry
41 .4byte 0x0 / CIE Identifier Tag
43 .4byte 0xffffffff / CIE Identifier Tag
45 .byte 0x1 / CIE Version
46 .byte 0x0 / CIE Augmentation (none)
47 .byte 0x1 / ULEB128 0x1 (CIE Code Alignment Factor)
48 .byte 0x7c / SLEB128 -4 (CIE Data Alignment Factor)
49 .byte 0x8 / CIE RA Column
50 .byte 0xc / DW_CFA_def_cfa
51 .byte 0x4 / ULEB128 0x4
52 .byte 0x4 / ULEB128 0x4
53 .byte 0x88 / DW_CFA_offset, column 0x8
54 .byte 0x1 / ULEB128 0x1
57 .set .LLCIE1,.LECIE1-.LSCIE1 / CIE Length Symbol
58 .4byte .LLFDE1 / FDE Length
60 .4byte .LSFDE1-__FRAME_BEGIN__ / FDE CIE offset
61 .4byte .LFB1 / FDE initial location
62 .4byte .LFE1-.LFB1 / FDE address range
63 .byte 0x4 / DW_CFA_advance_loc4
65 .byte 0xe / DW_CFA_def_cfa_offset
66 .byte 0x8 / ULEB128 0x8
67 .byte 0x85 / DW_CFA_offset, column 0x5
68 .byte 0x2 / ULEB128 0x2
69 .byte 0x4 / DW_CFA_advance_loc4
71 .byte 0xd / DW_CFA_def_cfa_register
72 .byte 0x5 / ULEB128 0x5
73 .byte 0x4 / DW_CFA_advance_loc4
75 .byte 0x2e / DW_CFA_GNU_args_size
76 .byte 0x4 / ULEB128 0x4
77 .byte 0x4 / DW_CFA_advance_loc4

85 The immediate issue we can address in the assembler is the
86 DW_CFA_advance_loc4 followed by a four byte value. The value is
87 the difference of two addresses in the function. Since gcc does
88 not know this value, it always uses four bytes. We will know the
89 value at the end of assembly, so we can do better. */
