NAME
unwinddump -- Displays compact unwind information in an executable
SYNOPSIS
unwinddump [-arch arch-name] file(s)
DESCRIPTION
When a C++ (or x86_64 Objective-C) exception is thrown, the runtime must unwind the stack looking for some function to catch the exception. Traditionally, the unwind information is stored in the __TEXT/__eh_frame section of each executable as Dwarf CFI (call frame information). Beginning in Mac OS X 10.6, the unwind information is also encoded in the __TEXT/__unwind_info section using a two-level lookup table of com- pact unwind encodings. The unwinddump tool displays the content of the __TEXT/__unwind_info section.
