\subsection{Unwinding state-of-the-art}
\todo{}
The most commonly used library to perform stack unwinding, in the Linux
ecosystem, is \prog{libunwind}~\cite{libunwind}. While it is very robust and
quite efficient, most of its optimization comes from fine-tuned code and good
caching mechanisms. While parsing DWARF, \prog{libunwind} is forced to parse
the relevant FDE from its start, until it finds the row it was seeking.
