\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}:] The base-index for general (integer)
registers. Add an index in the range from 0..127 to get a
particular general register. For example, to access \texttt{r4},
the index \Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+4} should be used. Register
\texttt{r0} is read-only, and any attempt to write to index
\Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+0} will result in an error
(\texttt{-}\Const{UNW\_EREADONLYREG}).
the index \Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+4} should be used.
Registers \texttt{r0} and \texttt{r1} (\texttt{gp}) are read-only,
and any attempt to write them will result in an error
(\texttt{-}\Const{UNW\_EREADONLYREG}). Even though \texttt{r1} is
read-only, \Prog{libunwind} will automatically adjust its value if
the instruction-pointer (\Const{UNW\_IA64\_IP}) is modified. For
example, if \Const{UNW\_IA64\_IP} is set to a value inside a
function \Func{func}(), then reading
\Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+1} will return the global-pointer
value for this function.
\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_NAT}:] The base-index for the NaT bits of the
general (integer) registers. A non-zero value in these registers
corresponds to a set NaT-bit. Add an index in the range from 0..127

Convenience macros are simply aliases for certain frequently used
registers:
\begin{Description}
\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_GP}:] Alias for \Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+1}.
The global-pointer register. For unwinding-purposes, this register
is treated as read-only.
\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_TP}:] Alias for \Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+13}.
The thread-pointer register. For unwinding-purposes, this register is
treated as read-only.
\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_AR\_RSC}:] Alias for \Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+16}.
The register-stack configuration register.
\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_GP}:] Alias for \Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+1},
the global-pointer register.
\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_TP}:] Alias for \Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+13},
the thread-pointer register.
\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_AR\_RSC}:] Alias for \Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+16},
the register-stack configuration register.
\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_AR\_BSP}:] Alias for
\Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+17}. This register index accesses the
value of register \texttt{ar.bsp} as of the time it was last saved
explicitly. This is rarely what you want. Normally, you'll want to
use \Const{UNW\_IA64\_BSP} instead.
\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_AR\_BSPSTORE}:] Alias for \Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+18}.
The register-backing store write pointer.
\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_AR\_RNAT}:] Alias for \Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+19}.
The register-backing store NaT-collection register.
\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_AR\_CCV}:] Alias for \Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+32}.
The compare-and-swap value register.
\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_AR\_UNAT}:] Alias for \Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+36}.
The user NaT-collection register.
\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_AR\_FPSR}:] Alias for \Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+40}.
The floating-point status (and control) register.
\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_AR\_PFS}:] Alias for \Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+64}.
The previous frame-state register.

The epilogue-count register.

the register-backing store write pointer.

the register-backing store NaT-collection register.
\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_AR\_CCV}:] Alias for \Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+32},
the compare-and-swap value register.
\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_AR\_CSD}:] Alias for \Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+25},
the compare-and-swap-data register (used by 16-byte atomic operations).
\item[\Const{UNW\_IA64\_AR\_UNAT}:] Alias for \Const{UNW\_IA64\_GR}\texttt{+36},
the user NaT-collection register.
