[Libunwind-devel] Doubt about min-dist

[Jose Flavio]

I was looking in elfxx
and I'm having problem with min_dist.

I can't understand whats the use of min_dist, and why its calculated
this way:
 
if ((Elf_W (Addr)) (ip - val) < min_dist)
{
                      min_dist = (Elf_W (Addr)) (ip - val);
...

I can only find the functions in ppc64 if I always consider the min_dist
= 0.

Could some one help me?

Thanks a lot,
Flávio
