This seems to assume `__has_feature(ptrauth_returns)` as well. On the other hand, I doubt we expect any valid build configuration to have `__has_feature(ptrauth_calls) == true` and `__has_feature(ptrauth_returns) == false`, so something as simple as
```cpp
#if !__has_feature(ptrauth_returns)
#error Hardened libunwing expects pac-ret
#endif
```
should be perfectly enough for the sake of documentating this dependecy and just to be sure :)
But what if we build libunwind on AArch64 **with** pac-ret, but **without** extra libunwind hardening (`ptrauth_calls` feature is false, unsupported platform, etc.): we probably want to manually apply a pac-ret-style protection to the argument passed to `_Unwind_SetIP` (and we will probably crash at some later point if pac-ret-style protection is not applied). Probably, a simplified version of this code should be added under
```cpp
_Unwind_SetIP(context, newIP);
#elif __has_feature(ptrauth_returns)
// Just sign unprotected newIP with stack pointer and pass it to _Unwind_SetIP
#else
_Unwind_SetIP(context, landingPad);
#endif
```
