[LLVMdev] x86 unwind support

[Duncan Sands]

Hi,

> How do either of these prevent DWARF exception handling from working?

if you throw an exception using your proposed unwind implementation,
then it wouldn't be caught by dwarf catch/cleanup regions (eg: invoke).

The landing pad would never be executed in the first place.  This
is rather bad, for example cleanups won't be run.

For the moment that is the best solution I think.
