Overview

|
========

|
libunwind is an implementation of the interface defined by the HP libunwind
|
|
|
|
|
project. It was contributed by Apple as a way to enable clang++ to port to
|
|
|
|
|
platforms that do not have a system unwinder. It is intended to be a small and
|
|
|
|
|
fast implementation of the ABI, leaving off some features of HP's libunwind
|
|
|
|
|
that never materialized (e.g. remote unwinding).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The unwinder has two levels of API. The high level APIs are the `_Unwind_*`
|
|
|
|
|
functions which implement functionality required by `__cxa_*` exception

|
|
|
functions. The low level APIs are the `unw_*` functions which are an interface

|
|
|
defined by the old HP libunwind project.

Current Status
|
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
libunwind is a production-quality unwinder, with platform support for DWARF
|
|
|
|
|
unwind info, SjLj, and ARM EHABI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The low level libunwind API was designed to work either in-process (aka local)
|
|
|
|
|
or to operate on another process (aka remote), but only the local path has been
|
|
|
|
|
implemented. Remote unwinding remains as future work.

The following minimum compiler versions are strongly recommended.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Clang 3.5 and above
|
|
|
|
|
* GCC 4.7 and above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anything older *may* work.
