C++ Exception ABI

This was originally defined specifically for Itanium, but in the meantime it's being used pretty much for all other platforms, too.

C++ Exception ABI Extensions

These extensions were defined by H.J. Lu with help from the GCC and Intel compiler teams to plug some holes which were not covered by the original C++ ABI spec and caused some compatibility problems.

IA-64 (Itanium) unwind conventions

See Chapter 11, ``Stack Unwinding and Exception Handling'' and Appendix B, ``Unwind Descriptor Record Format''.

DWARF-2/3 unwind conventions

See Section 6.4. Caveat: GCC uses an extended version of what is being documented here. Some of it has been documented as part of the Linux Standards Base, but much of it is currently ``documented'' in the form of source code, only.
