+//! Windows SEH
+//!
+//! On Windows (currently only on MSVC), the default exception handling
+//! mechanism is Structured Exception Handling (SEH). This is quite different
+//! than Dwarf-based exception handling (e.g., what other unix platforms use) in
+//! terms of compiler internals, so LLVM is required to have a good deal of
+//! extra support for SEH.
+//!
+//! In a nutshell, what happens here is:
+//!
+//! 1. The `panic` function calls the standard Windows function
+//! `_CxxThrowException` to throw a C++-like exception, triggering the
+//! unwinding process.
+//! 2. All landing pads generated by the compiler use the personality function
+//! `__CxxFrameHandler3`, a function in the CRT, and the unwinding code in
+//! Windows will use this personality function to execute all cleanup code on
+//! the stack.
+//! 3. All compiler-generated calls to `invoke` have a landing pad set as a
+//! `cleanuppad` LLVM instruction, which indicates the start of the cleanup
+//! routine. The personality (in step 2, defined in the CRT) is responsible
+//! for running the cleanup routines.
+//! 4. Eventually the "catch" code in the `try` intrinsic (generated by the
+//! compiler) is executed and indicates that control should come back to
+//! Rust. This is done via a `catchswitch` plus a `catchpad` instruction in
+//! LLVM IR terms, finally returning normal control to the program with a
+//! `catchret` instruction.
+//!
+//! Some specific differences from the gcc-based exception handling are:
+//!
+//! * Rust has no custom personality function, it is instead *always*
+//! `__CxxFrameHandler3`. Additionally, no extra filtering is performed, so we
+//! end up catching any C++ exceptions that happen to look like the kind we're
+//! throwing. Note that throwing an exception into Rust is undefined behavior
+//! anyway, so this should be fine.
+//! * We've got some data to transmit across the unwinding boundary,
+//! specifically a `Box<dyn Any + Send>`. Like with Dwarf exceptions
+//! these two pointers are stored as a payload in the exception itself. On
+//! MSVC, however, there's no need for an extra heap allocation because the
+//! call stack is preserved while filter functions are being executed. This
+//! means that the pointers are passed directly to `_CxxThrowException` which
+//! are then recovered in the filter function to be written to the stack frame
+//! of the `try` intrinsic.

+struct Exception {
+ // This needs to be an Option because we catch the exception by reference
+ // and its destructor is executed by the C++ runtime. When we take the Box
+ // out of the exception, we need to leave the exception in a valid state
+ // for its destructor to run without double-dropping the Box.
+ data: Option<Box<dyn Any + Send>>,
+}
+
+// First up, a whole bunch of type definitions. There's a few platform-specific
+// oddities here, and a lot that's just blatantly copied from LLVM. The purpose
+// of all this is to implement the `panic` function below through a call to
+// `_CxxThrowException`.
+//
+// This function takes two arguments. The first is a pointer to the data we're
+// passing in, which in this case is our trait object. Pretty easy to find! The
+// next, however, is more complicated. This is a pointer to a `_ThrowInfo`
+// structure, and it generally is just intended to just describe the exception
+// being thrown.
+//
+// Currently the definition of this type [1] is a little hairy, and the main
+// oddity (and difference from the online article) is that on 32-bit the
+// pointers are pointers but on 64-bit the pointers are expressed as 32-bit
+// offsets from the `__ImageBase` symbol. The `ptr_t` and `ptr!` macro in the
+// modules below are used to express this.
+//
+// The maze of type definitions also closely follows what LLVM emits for this
+// sort of operation. For example, if you compile this C++ code on MSVC and emit
+// the LLVM IR:
+//
+// #include <stdint.h>
+//
+// struct rust_panic {
+// rust_panic(const rust_panic&);
+// ~rust_panic();
+//
+// uint64_t x[2];
+// };
+//
+// void foo() {
+// rust_panic a = {0, 1};
+// throw a;
+// }
+//
+// That's essentially what we're trying to emulate. Most of the constant values
+// below were just copied from LLVM,
+//
+// In any case, these structures are all constructed in a similar manner, and
+// it's just somewhat verbose for us.
