exception_table.rs

//! Exception tables: catch handlers on `try_call` instructions.
//!
//! An exception table describes where execution flows after returning
//! from `try_call`. It contains both the "normal" destination -- the
//! block to branch to when the function returns without throwing an
//! exception -- and any "catch" destinations associated with
//! particular exception tags. Each target indicates the arguments to
//! pass to the block that receives control.
//!
//! Like other side-tables (e.g., jump tables), each exception table
//! must be used by only one instruction. Sharing is not permitted
//! because it can complicate transforms (how does one change the
//! table used by only one instruction if others also use it?).
//!
//! In order to allow the `try_call` instruction itself to remain
//! small, the exception table also contains the signature ID of the
//! called function.

/// Contents of an exception table.
///
/// An exception table consists of a "no exception" ("normal")
/// destination block-call, and a series of exceptional destination
/// block-calls associated with tags.
///
/// The exceptional tags can also be interspersed with "dynamic
/// context" entries, which result in a particular value being stored
/// in the stack frame and accessible at an offset given in the
/// compiled exception-table metadata. This is needed for some kinds
/// of tag-matching where different dynamic instances of tags may
/// exist (e.g., in the WebAssembly exception-handling proposal).
///
/// The sequence of targets is semantically a list of
/// context-or-tagged-blockcall; e.g., `[context v0, tag1: block1(v1,
/// v2), context v2, tag2: block2(), tag3: block3()]`.
///
/// The "no exception" target can be accessed through the
/// `normal_return` and `normal_return_mut` functions. Exceptional
/// catch clauses may be iterated using the `catches` and
/// `catches_mut` functions.  All targets may be iterated over using
/// the `all_targets` and `all_targets_mut` functions.
