Hi James, Note that the wiki example is a manual JIT example that works directly with the C++ APIs. As you know, no LLVM tools are used, just LLVM libraries. I say this to point out, that in the example, the exception mechanism is under the complete control of the developer moded by the LLVM libraries. In my mind a different example/different doc. would be needed to explain how a bit code driven JIT exception mechanism works. Sure the semantics and syntax of the unwind mechanism would be the same, but how/where the dwarf is emitted could be different. I do know that different classes are used to emit dwarf code for non-JIT projects vs what classes are used in the wiki JIT example. I know you understand this already, but I just wanted to make it clear for the readers of this list. Garrison PS: I would find if extremely useful, if you would post your results once you've figured out the issues.

Both should result in similar IR in memory driving the JIT to generate the required unwind information from inkove instructions and the llvm.eh intrinsics - there's no other magic going on in the JIT example (is there?) Anyway, I now have LLVM trunk from svn compiled with debug information, which makes it easier to see what's going on. Assuming I get to the bottom of it I'll post an update here. -- James> > Garrison > > PS: I would find if extremely useful, if you would post your results once > you've figured out the issues. > > > On Jan 22, 2010, at 10:31, James Williams wrote: > > > > 2010/1/22 James Williams <junk at giantblob.com> > >> >> >> 2010/1/22 Duncan Sands <baldrick at free.fr> >> >>> Hi James, >>> >>> >>> want to send us your testcase code?
