fine with me to guard the r12 code with #if
defined(LIBCXXABI_WITH_LIBGCC) or something like that, so that the code
base can work with and without libgcc.<br><br>However, I have several questions on this patch.<br><br></div><div>(1)
I am carious on the reason why does changing r12 will break libc++abi
test (with your unwinder)? IIRC, r12 is a scratch pointer which won't
be saved between function calls. Thus, most function will not (and
should not) assume that r12 won't be clobbered between function calls.<br><br></div><div>(2) I am afraid that we are not on the correct path. Shouldn't the unwinder implement _Unwind_GetLanaguageSpecificData() and _Unwind_GetRegionStart() so that the other language-semantic library (say Obj-C) can implement their ABI library on top of these functions?<br>

Hey! Thanks for the pointers.<br>
<br>
libgcc does in fact need us to pass the UCB in r12. See:<br></div>

<br>
<br>
It looks like we only need to call these methods on !ARM EHABI from our own<br>
libc++abi personality function. So I'm going to move them into that #if, along<br>
with the register setting, and avoided calling either method on ARM EHABI.<br>
<br>
<br>
We should probably keep this, but put it under LIBCXXABI_USE_GLIBC for when<br>
using libgcc's unwinder with libc++abi, as our unwinder implementation<br>
doesn't do it that way.<br>
<br>
<br>
I think our local LIBCXXABI_USE_GLIBC is a mis-nomer and it's going to go away.<br>
We probably want to pull our unwind library out of libc++abi so that we can drop<br>
in GCC's if desired. It seems like our libc++abi shouldn't necessarily know what<br>
unwinder it will be using at compile time, but should just work with whichever<br>
gets used?<br>
</div></blockquote>
Good point. Given that, maybe we ought to keep it in there.<div class=""><br>

<br>
However, for now we aren't passing the needed data to the personality function<br>
on EHABI yet upstream so we need to keep calling these _Unwind methods there<br>
still also. So I'm going to hold off on this patch until we upstream some other<br>
dependent pieces for this to make more sense.<br>
