+// This file handles generation of the exception frame header that
+// gcc's runtime support libraries use to find unwind information at
+// runtime.
+
+// The exception frame header starts with four bytes:
+
+// 0: The version number, currently 1.
+
+// 1: The encoding of the pointer to the exception frames. This can
+// be any DWARF unwind encoding (DW_EH_PE_*). It is normally a 4
+// byte PC relative offset (DW_EH_PE_pcrel | DW_EH_PE_sdata4).
+
+// 2: The encoding of the count of the number of FDE pointers in the
+// lookup table. This can be any DWARF unwind encoding, and in
+// particular can be DW_EH_PE_omit if the count is omitted. It is
+// normally a 4 byte unsigned count (DW_EH_PE_udata4).
+
+// 3: The encoding of the lookup table entries. Currently gcc's
+// libraries will only support DW_EH_PE_datarel | DW_EH_PE_sdata4,
+// which means that the values are 4 byte offsets from the start of
+// the table.
+
+// The exception frame header is followed by a pointer to the contents
+// of the exception frame section (.eh_frame). This pointer is
+// encoded as specified in the byte at offset 1 of the header (i.e.,
+// it is normally a 4 byte PC relative offset).
+
+// If there is a lookup table, this is followed by the count of the
+// number of FDE pointers, encoded as specified in the byte at offset
+// 2 of the header (i.e., normally a 4 byte unsigned integer).
+
+// This is followed by the table, which should start at an 4-byte
+// aligned address in memory. Each entry in the table is 8 bytes.
+// Each entry represents an FDE. The first four bytes of each entry
+// are an offset to the starting PC for the FDE. The last four bytes
+// of each entry are an offset to the FDE data. The offsets are from
+// the start of the exception frame header information. The entries
+// are in sorted order by starting PC.
+
+// FIXME: We currently always generate an empty exception frame
+// header.
