[Libunwind-devel] Re: C++ exceptions support for dynamically generated code

[David Mosberger-Tang]

Ady,

Libunwind has support for dynamically generated code for ia64 (see
tests/Gtest-dyn1.c for an example).  I don't think the equivalent has
been implemented for DWARF yet, which is what would be needed for x86
and x86-64.
