— Macro: EH_FRAME_SECTION_NAME

If defined, a C string constant for the name of the section containing exception handling frame unwind information. If not defined, GCC will provide a default definition if the target supports named sections. crtstuff.c uses this macro to switch to the appropriate section.

You should define this symbol if your target supports DWARF 2 frame unwind information and the default definition does not work.

— Macro: EH_FRAME_IN_DATA_SECTION

If defined, DWARF 2 frame unwind information will be placed in the data section even though the target supports named sections. This might be necessary, for instance, if the system linker does garbage collection and sections cannot be marked as not to be collected.

Do not define this macro unless TARGET_ASM_NAMED_SECTION is also defined.

— Macro: EH_TABLES_CAN_BE_READ_ONLY

Define this macro to 1 if your target is such that no frame unwind information encoding used with non-PIC code will ever require a runtime relocation, but the linker may not support merging read-only and read-write sections into a single read-write section.

— Macro: MASK_RETURN_ADDR

An rtx used to mask the return address found via RETURN_ADDR_RTX, so that it does not contain any extraneous set bits in it.

— Macro: DWARF2_UNWIND_INFO

Define this macro to 0 if your target supports DWARF 2 frame unwind information, but it does not yet work with exception handling. Otherwise, if your target supports this information (if it defines `INCOMING_RETURN_ADDR_RTX' and either `UNALIGNED_INT_ASM_OP' or `OBJECT_FORMAT_ELF'), GCC will provide a default definition of 1.

If TARGET_UNWIND_INFO is defined, the target specific unwinder will be used in all cases. Defining this macro will enable the generation of DWARF 2 frame debugging information.

If TARGET_UNWIND_INFO is not defined, and this macro is defined to 1, the DWARF 2 unwinder will be the default exception handling mechanism; otherwise, the setjmp/longjmp-based scheme will be used by default.

— Macro: TARGET_UNWIND_INFO

Define this macro if your target has ABI specified unwind tables. Usually these will be output by TARGET_UNWIND_EMIT.

— Target Hook: bool TARGET_UNWIND_TABLES_DEFAULT

This variable should be set to true if the target ABI requires unwinding tables even when exceptions are not used.

— Macro: MUST_USE_SJLJ_EXCEPTIONS

This macro need only be defined if DWARF2_UNWIND_INFO is runtime-variable. In that case, except.h cannot correctly determine the corresponding definition of MUST_USE_SJLJ_EXCEPTIONS, so the target must provide it directly.

— Macro: DONT_USE_BUILTIN_SETJMP

Define this macro to 1 if the setjmp/longjmp-based scheme should use the setjmp/longjmp functions from the C library instead of the __builtin_setjmp/__builtin_longjmp machinery.

— Macro: DWARF_CIE_DATA_ALIGNMENT

This macro need only be defined if the target might save registers in the function prologue at an offset to the stack pointer that is not aligned to UNITS_PER_WORD. The definition should be the negative minimum alignment if STACK_GROWS_DOWNWARD is defined, and the positive minimum alignment otherwise. See SDB and DWARF. Only applicable if the target supports DWARF 2 frame unwind information.

— Target Hook: bool TARGET_TERMINATE_DW2_EH_FRAME_INFO

Contains the value true if the target should add a zero word onto the end of a Dwarf-2 frame info section when used for exception handling. Default value is false if EH_FRAME_SECTION_NAME is defined, and true otherwise.

— Target Hook: rtx TARGET_DWARF_REGISTER_SPAN (rtx reg)

Given a register, this hook should return a parallel of registers to represent where to find the register pieces. Define this hook if the register and its mode are represented in Dwarf in non-contiguous locations, or if the register should be represented in more than one register in Dwarf. Otherwise, this hook should return NULL_RTX. If not defined, the default is to return NULL_RTX.

— Target Hook: void TARGET_INIT_DWARF_REG_SIZES_EXTRA (tree address)

If some registers are represented in Dwarf-2 unwind information in multiple pieces, define this hook to fill in information about the sizes of those pieces in the table used by the unwinder at runtime. It will be called by expand_builtin_init_dwarf_reg_sizes after filling in a single size corresponding to each hard register; address is the address of the table.

— Target Hook: bool TARGET_ASM_TTYPE (rtx sym)

This hook is used to output a reference from a frame unwinding table to the type_info object identified by sym. It should return true if the reference was output. Returning false will cause the reference to be output using the normal Dwarf2 routines.

— Target Hook: bool TARGET_ARM_EABI_UNWINDER

This flag should be set to true on targets that use an ARM EABI based unwinding library, and false on other targets. This effects the format of unwinding tables, and how the unwinder in entered after running a cleanup. The default is false.
