/* Translation rules for exception handling code, from Cforall to C.
 *
 * Reminder: This is not final. Besides names and things it is also going very
 * much for correctness and simplisity over efficiency.
 *
 * The first section is the shared definitions, not generated by the local
 * translations but used by the translated code.
 *
 * Most of these exist only after translation (in C code). The first (the
 * exception type) has to exist in Cforall code so that it can be used
 * directly in Cforall. The two __throw_* functions might have wrappers in
 * Cforall, but the underlying functions should probably be C. struct
 * stack_exception_data has to exist inside of the coroutine data structures
 * and so should be compiled as they are.
