CFI directives annotate instructions that are significant for stack
unwinding procedure. In addition to directives recognized by GNU
assembler this module implements three synthetic ones:
- .cfi_push annotates push instructions in prologue and translates to
.cfi_adjust_cfa_offset (if needed) and .cfi_offset;
- .cfi_pop annotates pop instructions in epilogue and translates to
.cfi_adjust_cfs_offset (if needed) and .cfi_restore;
- .cfi_cfa_expression encodes DW_CFA_def_cfa_expression and passes it
to .cfi_escape as byte vector;
CFA expression syntax is made up mix of DWARF operator suffixes [subset
of] and references to registers with optional bias. Following example
describes offloaded original stack pointer at specific offset from
current stack pointer:
.cfi_cfa_expression %rsp+40,deref,+8
Final +8 has everything to do with the fact that CFA, Canonical Frame
Address, is reference to top of caller's stack, and on x86_64 call to
subroutine pushes 8-byte return address.
