34 -- This package contains definitions used for zero cost exception handling.
35 -- See unit Ada.Exceptions for further details. Note that the reason that
36 -- we separate out these definitions is to avoid problems with recursion
37 -- in rtsfind. They must be in a unit which does not require any exception
38 -- table generation of any kind.

52 -- The following section defines data structures used for zero cost
53 -- exception handling if System.Parameters.Zero_Cost_Exceptions is
54 -- set true (i.e. zero cost exceptions are implemented on this target).
56 -- The approach is to build tables that describe the PC ranges that
57 -- are covered by various exception frames. When an exception occurs,
58 -- these tables are searched to determine the address of the applicable
59 -- handler for the current exception.
61 subtype Handler_Loc is System.Address;
62 -- Code location representing entry address of a handler. Values of
63 -- this type are created using the N_Handler_Loc node, and then
64 -- passed to the Enter_Handler procedure to enter a handler.
66 subtype Code_Loc is System.Address;
67 -- Code location used in building exception tables and for call
68 -- addresses when propagating an exception (also traceback table)
69 -- Values of this type are created by using Label'Address or
70 -- extracted from machine states using Get_Code_Loc.

112 ---------------------------

115 -- exceptions may propagate, this includes all Ada subprograms,
116 -- and also all foreign language imported subprograms.
118 subtype Subprogram_Info_Type is System.Address;
119 -- This type is used to represent a value that is used to unwind stack
120 -- frames. It references target dependent data that provides sufficient
121 -- information (e.g. about the location of the return point, use of a
122 -- frame pointer, save-over-call registers etc) to unwind the machine
123 -- state to the caller. For some targets, this is simply a pointer to
124 -- the entry point of the procedure (and the routine to pop the machine
125 -- state disassembles the code at the entry point to obtain the required
126 -- information). On other targets, it is a pointer to data created by the
127 -- backend or assembler to represent the required information.
129 No_Info : constant Subprogram_Info_Type := System.Null_Address;
130 -- This is a special value used to indicate that it is not possible
131 -- to pop past this frame. This is used at the outer level (e.g. for
132 -- package elaboration procedures or the main procedure), and for any
133 -- other foreign language procedure for which propagation is known
134 -- to be impossible. An exception is considered unhandled if an
135 -- attempt is made to pop a frame whose Subprogram_Info_Type value
136 -- is set to No_Info.
138 type Subprogram_Descriptor (Num_Handlers : Natural) is record
139 Code : Code_Loc;
140 -- This is a code location used to determine which procedure we are
141 -- in. Most usually it is simply the entry address for the procedure.
142 -- hA given address is considered to be within the procedure referenced
143 -- by a Subprogram_Descriptor record if this is the descriptor for
144 -- which the Code value is as large as possible without exceeding
145 -- the given value.
147 Subprogram_Info : Subprogram_Info_Type;
148 -- This is a pointer to a target dependent data item that provides
149 -- sufficient information for unwinding the stack frame of this
150 -- procedure. A value of No_Info (zero) means that we are the
151 -- outer level procedure.
153 Handler_Records : Handler_Record_List (1 .. Num_Handlers);
154 -- List of pointers to Handler_Records for this procedure. The array
155 -- is sorted inside out, i.e. entries for inner frames appear before
156 -- entries for outer handlers. This ensures that a serial search
157 -- finds the innermost applicable handler
