However, I have one question: is > the term "FDE" explained anywhere else in the manual (sorry, I cannot > find out myself where I'm typing this)? If not, perhaps we should say > a few words about what an FDE is. FDE (Frame description entry) and CIE (common information entry) are abbrevs used in Dwarf2 unwinding. Basically each function should have an appropriate FDE that contains information about how to unwind from the given function. CIE contains information common for several FDEs. Where in the doco should I write this very brief description? Michal Ludvig -- * SuSE CR, s.r.o * mludvig@suse.cz * (+420) 296.545.373 * http://www.suse.cz
