@ -327,10 +327,19 @@ This intrinsic returns the type info index in the exception table of the current
function. This value can be used to compare against the result of
``landingpad`` instruction. The single argument is a reference to a type info.
Uses of this intrinsic are generated by the C++ front-end.
SJLJ Intrinsics
---------------
The ``llvm.eh.sjlj`` intrinsics are used internally within LLVM's
backend. Uses of them are generated by the backend's
``SjLjEHPrepare`` pass.
