unwind.rs

//! Unwinding runtime for Miri.
//!
//! The core pieces of the runtime are:
//! - An implementation of `catch_unwind` that pushes the invoked stack frame with
//!   some extra metadata derived from the panic-catching arguments of `catch_unwind`.
//! - A hack in `libpanic_unwind` that calls the `miri_start_unwind` intrinsic instead of the
//!   target-native panic runtime. (This lives in the rustc repo.)
//! - An implementation of `miri_start_unwind` that stores its argument (the panic payload), and
//!   then immediately returns, but on the *unwind* edge (not the normal return edge), thus
//!   initiating unwinding.
//! - A hook executed each time a frame is popped, such that if the frame pushed by `catch_unwind`
//!   gets popped *during unwinding*, we take the panic payload and store it according to the extra
//!   metadata we remembered when pushing said frame.
