Implementing the _Unwind level of the APIs discussed in the above link, will, I think, allow us to directly reuse the actual implementation of the libcxxabi from LLVM to deal accurately with C++ exceptions. AFAICT, all the magic stack introspection steps actually happen inside libunwind, and is therefore an appropriate abstraction layer for override implementation inside Crucible.

I haven't completely convinced myself that the operations so described are actually reasonable to bolt onto crucible, but it doesn't seem impossible.

Will also be useful for handling JVM exceptions.

May be related to setjmp/longjmp.
