247 The DWARF 3.0 spec says that the default initial states of all registers
248 are "undefined", unless otherwise specified by the machine/compiler ABI.
250 This default is wrong for every machine with the CFI generated by GCC.
251 The EH unwinder does not really distinguish "same_value" and "undefined",
252 since it doesn't matter for unwinding (in either case there is no change
253 to make for that register). GCC generates CFI that says nothing at all
254 about registers it hasn't spilled somewhere. For our unwinder to give
255 the true story, the backend must supply an initial state that uses
256 "same_value" rules for all the callee-saves registers.
258 This can fill in the initial_instructions, initial_instructions_end
259 members of *ABI_INFO to point at a CFI instruction stream to process
260 before each CIE's initial instructions. It should set the
261 data_alignment_factor member if it affects the initial instructions.
263 The callback should not use the register rules DW_CFA_expression or
264 DW_CFA_val_expression. Defining the CFA using DW_CFA_def_cfa_expression
265 is allowed. This is an implementation detail since register rules
266 store expressions as offsets from the .eh_frame or .debug_frame data.
268 As a shorthand for some common cases, for this instruction stream
269 we overload some CFI instructions that cannot be used in a CIE:
271 DW_CFA_restore -- Change default rule for all unmentioned
272 registers from undefined to same_value.
274 This function can also fill in ABI_INFO->return_address_register with the
275 DWARF register number that identifies the actual PC in machine state.
276 If there is no canonical DWARF register number with that meaning, it's
277 left unchanged (callers usually initialize with (Dwarf_Word) -1).
278 This value is not used by CFI per se.
