32-bit X86 EH on Windows utilizes a stack of registration nodes
allocated and deallocated on entry/exit. A registration node contains a
bunch of EH personality specific information like which try-state we are
currently in.
Because a setjmp target allows control flow from arbitrary program
points, there is no way to ensure that the try-state we are in is
correctly updated once we transfer control.
MSVC compatible compilers, like MSVC and ICC, utilize runtime helpers to
reinitialize the try-state when a longjmp occurs. This is implemented
by adding additional arguments to _setjmp3: the desired try-state and
a helper routine to update the try-state.
Anything wrong with the old spelling?
