# stop: dependency-injected wrapper around the exit() syscall
#
# We'd like to be able to write tests for functions that call exit(), and to
# make assertions about whether they exit() or not in a given situation. To
# achieve this we'll call exit() via a smarter wrapper called 'stop'.
#
# In the context of a test, calling a function X that calls 'stop' (directly
# or through further intervening calls) will unwind the stack until X returns,
# so that we can say check any further assertions after the execution of X. To
# achieve this end, we'll pass the return address of X as a 'target' argument
# into X, plumbing it through to 'stop'. When 'stop' gets a non-null target it
# unwinds the stack until the target. If it gets a null target it calls
# exit().
#
# We'd also like to get the exit status out of 'stop', so we'll combine the
# input target with an output status parameter into a type called 'exit-descriptor'.
#
# So the exit-descriptor looks like this:
#   target : address  # input return address for 'stop' to unwind to
#   value : int  # output exit status stop was called with
#
# 'stop' thus takes two parameters: an exit-descriptor and the exit status.
#
# We won't bother cleaning up any other processor state besides the stack,
# such as registers. Only ESP will have a well-defined value after 'stop'
# returns. (This is a poor man's setjmp/longjmp, if you know what that is.)

  # Let X be the value of ESP in the caller, before the call to tailor-exit-descriptor.
  # The return address for a call in the caller's body will be at:
  #   X-8 if the caller takes 4 bytes of args for the exit-descriptor (add 4 bytes for the return address)
  #   X-12 if the caller takes 8 bytes of args
  #   ..and so on
  # That's the value we need to return: X-nbytes-4
  #
  # However, we also need to account for the perturbance to ESP caused by the

  # bytes for the return address and 4 bytes to push EBP above.
