Can you point out to me where in the VMKit code I should be looking? I spent some additional time reading the docs, and I have some specific questions: 1) I'm trying to figure out the relationship between the __cxa_throw function, and the _Unwind_RaiseException function mentioned in the ABI doc. My guess is that _Unwind_RaiseException is the language-neutral implementation of stack unwinding,

It looks good to me.

Can anyone tell me if invoke/unwind is stable in 2.3? I'm seeing some really weird stuff -- unwinds are ending up in seemingly arbitrary places... definitely not inside the caller's unwind block My target is x86. As a simple test, I tried to compile the following code and I got a segmentation fault. It looks good to me. Can someone help me out or is this a bug? define i32 @foo() {

'unwind' and its kin would also be useful for me, especially since this is on platforms without GCC (nor is GCC used in any way in any step anywhere). Why does it generate GCC only constructs anyway, that does not sound very much like the multi-platform that

From what I understand, the unwind instruction is implemented only for the interpreter: there is a -lowerunwind pass for compiling to other systems which will either lower unwind and invoke to setjmp/ longjmp (slow) or turn invokes into calls and unwinds into abort()s.

The documentation of unwind/invoke is quite clear and does exactly what I need: unwinding the stack. I don't need it to carry an object back. I don't need it to figure out what the type of the object is or what catch() blocks it matches. I just need it to unwind the stack. The rest is my job as a part of the runtime. Unfortunately, I have learned that while this works with the bytecode

You need to call the libgcc unwinding routines directly (or indirectly by

I guess Duncan's answer in this thread is the best answer to give: <<Once that [The exception handling stuff needed by llvm-gcc] was done I guess everyone took a breather and kind of forgot about unwind>> So yes, ultimately, unwind will be supported and clang/llvm should provide its own unwinding runtime. Patches welcome :) Cheers, Nicolas OvermindDL1 wrote: > On Mon, Sep

Hi Talin, if you change @throwSomething so that it prints a message if the _Unwind_RaiseException call returns, then you will see that it does in fact return. define internal fastcc void @throwSomething() { entry: %throwable = malloc %Throwable call fastcc void @Throwable.construct(%Throwable* %throwable) %unwindInfo = getelementptr %Throwable* %throwable, i32 0, i32 1
