  • Registers used for exception handling on Linux/m68k?

    From John Paul Adrian Glaubitz@21:1/5 to All on Tue Sep 29 17:30:03 2020
    Hello!

    I'm looking for an information regarding exception handling on Linux/m68k, in particular
    I need to know what registers are used by the ABI in order to implement the functions
    "getExceptionPointerRegister" and "getExceptionSelectorRegister" in the M680x0 backend
    in LLVM [1], [2].

    I looked into the GCC source code to find the corresponding parts but I could only find
    the macros prefixed with "EH_" [4] which I didn't fully understand.

    Can any of the experienced GCC/m68k folks tell me which registers in [5] I need to use?

    Adrian
