/* Exceptions can exist in three phases: (1) after having been allocated by
   __cxa_allocate_exception but before being handed off to __cxa_throw,
   (2) when they are in flight, so between __cxa_throw and __cxa_begin_catch,
   and (3) when they are being handled (between __cxa_begin_catch and
   __cxa_end_catch).  Note that when an exception is re-thrown in (3), it is
   not moving back to (2) but handled as a special case of (3) by the EH
   runtime.

   We can get aborts in all three phases, for example in (1) during
   construction of the exception object, or in (2) in destructors called
   while unwinding the stack.  The transaction that created an exception
   object can only commit in phase (3) by re-throwing the exception; it cannot
   commit in other phases because throw expressions and catch clauses are
   properly nested wrt transactions and because the compiler wraps
   transaction bodies in a try/catch-all construct.

   We handle phase (1) by dealing with exception objects similar to how we
   deal with other (de)allocations, which also ensures that we can have more
   than one exception object allocated at the same time (e.g., if the
   throw expression itself throws an exception and thus calls
   __cxa_allocate_exception).  However, on the call to __cxa_begin_catch
   we hand off the exception to the special handling of phase (3) and
   remove the undo log entry of the allocation.  Note that if the allocation
   happened outside of this transaction, we do not need to do anything.

   When an exception reaches phase (2) due to a call to __cxa_throw, the count
   of uncaught exceptions is incremented.  We roll back this effect by saving
   and restoring this number in the structure returned from __cxa_get_globals.
   This also takes care of increments of this count when re-throwing an
   exception.

   For phase (3), we keep track of the number of times __cxa_begin_catch
   has been called without a matching call to __cxa_end_catch.  This count
   is then used by __cxa_tm_cleanup to roll back the exception handling state
   by calling __cxa_end_catch for the exceptions that have not been finished
   yet (without running destructors though because we roll back the memory
   anyway).
   Once an exception that was allocated in this transaction enters phase (3),
   it does not need to be deallocated on abort anymore because the calls to
   __cxa_end_catch will take care of that.

   We require all code executed by the transaction to be transaction_safe (or
   transaction_pure, or to have wrappers) if the transaction is to be rolled
   back.  However, we take care to not require this for transactions that
   just commit; this way, transactions that enter serial mode and then call
   uninstrumented code continue to work.
