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.
