Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [SG14] Apr 8th Sg14 monthly call agenda

Minor nit:
My name is BendiXen, but maybe you used all the xs for variables ;-)

My comment regarding cassert was to say that having different rules for embedded and the rest of C++ was a hindrance to adoption ( e.g. using libraries)

Best

Low-cost Deterministic C++ Exceptions for Embedded Systems<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.research.ed.ac.uk/portal/files/78829292/low_cost_deterministic_C_exceptions_for_embedded_systems.pdf__;!!FbZ0ZwI3Qg!5IDP-p-EEaQOMZrPdy1JsDOZnYyfcsWdkQDHhPfaWbyPCUKSIM-19ZpJwLHg$>
Low-cost Deterministic C++ Exceptions for Embedded Systems
James Renwick
James Renwick et al.
 BC: passing an address, so you can indirect jmp instead of return?
leave optimzation off for now, what it this just look like normal code

when propagating exception up the call stack, just do a return
BC: regular processor, branch cost is small, but on gpu divergign control throws is high, throwing an exception on gpu is already expensive
for gpu instead of terminate might do a HW specific thing
CH: too many banches will cross bank boundaries;
Even with a nave implementaion, we can see n times better

ST: precompield external libraries 1K allocated for stack and with only 256 bytes from the stack, what happens? Right we dont deal with dynamic library yet, but it doesnt make teh exception object unique, and nothing is unique on the exception object here
DLL and static libraries crossing boundary may be UB here or an ODR violation

JM: table reduction does not match waht you said about text increase maching?
because unwind library is gone

BC: version of clang?
clang 6

CH:on function size vs binary size;
should the catch block, which can be called out to another function,

buffer on where to put EH object and it falls back to the heap, so this can do the same thing
need to inject parameter, which could thow., need to distinguisj C and C++ function so need throw specifier added, abi change
or pass by TLS

a C language linkage, dont inject, standards says thata fn pointer inside a structure,
type of ptr
extern C allowed to throw, so we can detect what linkage a fn has
C adapting deterministic exception
we just need implmentation with a compielr flag
parameter injection will be an abi break

exception_ptr was intended to allow copying to support bot hreference counting heap allocated as is eager copy implementations

you know the size because you call the copy constructor and not just memcpy it
resolve copy construction when you write the throw expression so you know the size of the xception object
but if pass exception ptr through to another functions object, that could take a dynamic size,
if you can pass exception ptr around, can assign it to global variable, stack space does not matter, you have a life time problem; so it has to be on the heap to solve this
so if eh object lives on stack, cant touch the heap, the nwe have a problem; yes you can outlive, so copy an exception ptr object stackframe, then for these reasons
exception_ptr is aimed at heap implementation
so we propose similar that is agnostic, encapsulate exception object, call get_current exception, then you are responsible for this object, no reference count, so you move it around

cross noexcept bounday with an exception ptr, want to pass exeption through noexcept boundary without passing exception object as parameter for the rethrowing case

want std exception ptr that has shared ownership and unique ownership of the exception object

no language or library changes in this paper
its an implementation report
should we advise exception ptr is toxic

Paul: claims is standard conformant, leaves out what noexcept specifier mean

Ben: it would no changes, there are proposal would be changing stuff substantially, address cost benefit analysis of those papers

some of the mitigation: adding noexcept blocks to mark large parts as noexcept, change the calling convention to make it so a prebuilt C library can work with this

PB: C assert is verymuch a hint of adoption

Exception_ptr: can we ban it in free_standing, or use Rust send

exception_ptr on the heap is fine, problem is when you move it, it is nolonger available in the catch block, if you copy exception its fine as implementation only allow move only objects

if it is moved onto the heap, then its a problem, but OK if you copy from stack to heap

open the github (limited form)and form a group and tthen come back to discuss bridfing mechanism

please reply to this thread if inetersted in joining this Exception Handing for Embedded implementation group.
