// This file provides the basic support for exception handling in the VM.
// Note: We do not use C++ exceptions to avoid compiler dependencies and
// unpredictable performance.
//
// Scheme: Exceptions are stored with the thread. There is never more
// than one pending exception per thread. All functions that can throw
// an exception carry a THREAD argument (usually the last argument and
// declared with the TRAPS macro). Throwing an exception means setting
// a pending exception in the thread. Upon return from a function that
// can throw an exception, we must check if an exception is pending.
// The CHECK macros do this in a convenient way. Carrying around the
// thread provides also convenient access to it (e.g. for Handle
// creation, w/o the need for recomputation).


// Forward declarations to be independent of the include structure.
// This allows us to have exceptions.hpp included in top.hpp.

  friend void check_ThreadShadow();              // checks _pending_exception offset

  // The following virtual exists only to force creation of a vtable.
  // We need ThreadShadow to have a vtable, even in product builds,
  // so that its layout will start at an offset of zero relative to Thread.
  // Some C++ compilers are so "clever" that they put the ThreadShadow
  // base class at offset 4 in Thread (after Thread's vtable), if they
  // notice that Thread has a vtable but ThreadShadow does not.
