/* Runtime support for backtrace generation.
*
* It has two kind of users:
* - high-level API to capture and decode backtraces;
* - low-level runtime routines, to introspect machine state and determine
* whether a backtrace should be generated when using "raise".
*
* Backtrace generation is split in multiple steps.
* The lowest-level one, done by [backtrace_prim.c] just fills the
* [caml_backtrace_buffer] variable each time a frame is unwinded.
* At that point, we don't know whether the backtrace will be useful or not so
* this code should be as fast as possible.
*
* If the backtrace happens to be useful, later passes will read
* [caml_backtrace_buffer] and turn it into a [raw_backtrace] and then a
* [backtrace].
* This is done in [backtrace.c] and [stdlib/printexc.ml].
*
* Content of buffers
* ------------------
*
* [caml_backtrace_buffer] (really cheap)
* Backend and process image dependent, abstracted by C-type backtrace_slot.
* [raw_backtrace] (cheap)
* OCaml values of abstract type [Printexc.raw_backtrace_slot],
* still backend and process image dependent (unsafe to marshal).
* [backtrace] (more expensive)
* OCaml values of algebraic data-type [Printexc.backtrace_slot]
*/

* One should use to change this variable [caml_record_backtrace].

* exposed as a [backtrace_slot].

*
* FIXME: this shouldn't matter anymore. Since OCaml 4.02, non-parameterized
* exceptions are constant, so physical equality is no longer appropriate.
