\textbf{In order to keep the compiler \alert{simple} and \alert{easily
testable}, the whole DWARF5 instruction set is not supported.}
\begin{itemize}
\item Tailored for \alert{x86\_64} (while DWARF is
architecture-agnostic)
\item Only supports \alert{unwinding registers}: \reg{rip}, \reg{rsp},
\reg{rbp}, \reg{rbx}
\begin{itemize}
\item[$\leadsto$] suitable for perf, not for gdb
\end{itemize}
\item Supports the \alert{wide majority} ($> 99.9\%$) of instructions
used (see later)
\begin{itemize}
\item Only supports few common expressions: already $~ 90\,\%$
of expressions used

\begin{frame}{What next?}
\begin{itemize}
\item \alert{Outlining} was super efficient for
compactness\ldots{} Worth trying on standard DWARF\@?
\item Implement a release-ready, packageable, easy to use version of
perf with \ehelfs{} and submit it for inclusion
\item{} Measure \alert{C++ exceptions overhead} precisely in common
software
\item{} Implement \alert{\ehelfs{}} support for \alert{C++ runtime}
exception handling
\item{} \ldots{}and many more possibilities to explore!
