-# 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  # return address for 'stop' to unwind to
-#   value : int  # exit status stop was called with
-#
-# 'stop' thus takes two parameters: an exit-descriptor and the exit status.
-#
-# 'stop' 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.)
-#
-# Before you can call any function that may call 'stop', you need to pass in an
-# exit-descriptor to it. The value will initially be empty. What should the
-# target be? The simplest way to compute the target requires violating the
-# usual pattern of function calls.
-#
-# Normally function calls follow this pattern:
-#   * push all args on the stack
-#   * call
-#   * increment ESP to pop all args off the stack
-#
-# When passing in a new exit descriptor, the process of calling looks like this:
-#   * allocate space for the exit descriptor on the stack
-#   * assign the exit descriptor to some register 'r'
-#   ... some time later ...
-#   * push all args on the stack, including register 'r'
-#   * save ESP to *r (the target of the exit descriptor)
-#
-# The value saved to the target isn't quite right, so stop needs to adjust its
-# exit-descriptor argument 'ed':
-#   copy *ed to ESP
-#   decrement ESP by 4 (from last arg to return address)
-#   ret
-#
-# Performing the decrement inside 'stop' reduces our overhead for creating exit
-# descriptors to a single 2-byte instruction.
-# We only adjust the target if we ever actually call 'stop'.
-#
-# There's no good way to abstract away the target computation, since it depends
-# on the number of args a function is called with.

-# 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  # return address for 'stop' to unwind to
-#   value : int  # exit status stop was called with
-#
-# 'stop' thus takes two parameters: an exit-descriptor and the exit status.
-#
-# 'stop' 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.)
-#
-# Before you can call any function that may call 'stop', you need to pass in an
-# exit-descriptor to it. To create an exit-descriptor use 'tailor-exit-descriptor'
-# below. It's not the most pleasant abstraction in the world.
-#
-# An exit-descriptor's target is its input, computed during 'tailor-exit-descriptor'.
-# Its value is its output, computed during stop and available to the test.
