unw\_resume -- resume execution in a particular stack frame
\end{Name}
\section{Synopsis}
\File{\#include $<$libunwind.h$>$}\\
\Type{int} \Func{unw\_resume}(\Type{unw\_cursor\_t~*}\Var{cursor});\\
\section{Description}
The \Func{unw\_resume}() routine resumes execution at the stack frame
identified by \Var{cursor}. Normally, this is accomplished by
restoring the ``preserved'' (callee-saved) machine state. However, if
execution in any of the stack frames younger (more deeply nested) than
the one identified by \Var{cursor} was interrupted by a signal, then
\Func{unw\_resume}() will restore the entire machine state, including
the ``preserved'' and ``scratch'' (caller-saved) registers, as well as
the signal mask.
Most platforms reserve some registers to pass arguments to exception
handlers (e.g., IA-64 uses \texttt{r15}-\texttt{r18} for this
purpose). These registers are normally treated like ``scratch''
registers. However, if \Prog{libunwind} is used to define an
exception argument register, e.g., by calling \Func{unw\_set\_reg}(),
then \Func{unw\_resume}() will always install the new value as the
contents of that register. In other words, the exception handling
arguments are installed even in cases where normally only the
``preserved'' registers are restored.
\section{Return Value}
For local unwinding, \Func{unw\_resume}() does not return on success.
For remote unwinding, it returns 0 on success. On failure, the
negative value of one of the errors below is returned.
\section{Errors}
\begin{Description}
\item[\Const{UNW\_EUNSPEC}] An unspecified error occurred.
\item[\Const{UNW\_EBADREG}] A register needed by \Func{unw\_resume}() wasn't
accessible.
\item[\Const{UNW\_EINVALIDIP}] The instruction pointer identified by
\Var{cursor} is not valid.
\item[\Const{UNW\_BADFRAME}] The stack frame identified by
\Var{cursor} is not valid.
