  1 # stop: dependency-injected wrapper around the exit() syscall
  2 #
  3 # We'd like to be able to write tests for functions that call exit(), and to
  4 # make assertions about whether they exit() or not in a given situation. To
  5 # achieve this we'll call exit() via a smarter wrapper called 'stop'.
  6 #
  7 # In the context of a test, calling a function X that calls 'stop' (directly
  8 # or through further intervening calls) will unwind the stack until X returns,
  9 # so that we can say check any further assertions after the execution of X. To
 10 # achieve this end, we'll pass the return address of X as a 'target' argument
 11 # into X, plumbing it through to 'stop'. When 'stop' gets a non-null target it
 12 # unwinds the stack until the target. If it gets a null target it calls
 13 # exit().
 14 #
 15 # We'd also like to get the exit status out of 'stop', so we'll combine the
 16 # input target with an output status parameter into a type called 'exit-descriptor'.
 17 #
 18 # So the exit-descriptor looks like this:
 19 #   target: address  # return address for 'stop' to unwind to
 20 #   value: int  # exit status stop was called with
 21 #
 22 # 'stop' thus takes two parameters: an exit-descriptor and the exit status.
 23 #
 24 # 'stop' won't bother cleaning up any other processor state besides the stack,
 25 # such as registers. Only esp will have a well-defined value after 'stop'
 26 # returns. (This is a poor man's setjmp/longjmp, if you know what that is.)
 27 #
 28 # Before you can call any function that may call 'stop', you need to pass in an
 29 # exit-descriptor to it. To create an exit-descriptor use 'tailor-exit-descriptor'
 30 # below. It's not the most pleasant abstraction in the world.
 31 #
 32 # An exit-descriptor's target is its input, computed during 'tailor-exit-descriptor'.
 33 # Its value is its output, computed during stop and available to the test.

 53     # Let X be the value of esp in the caller, before the call to tailor-exit-descriptor.
 54     # The return address for a call in the caller's body will be at:
 55     #   X-8 if the caller takes 4 bytes of args for the exit-descriptor (add 4 bytes for the return address)
 56     #   X-12 if the caller takes 8 bytes of args
 57     #   ..and so on
 58     # That's the value we need to return: X-nbytes-4
 59     #
 60     # However, we also need to account for the perturbance to esp caused by the
 61     # call to tailor-exit-descriptor. It pushes 8 bytes of args followed by 4
 62     # bytes for the return address and 4 bytes to push ebp above.
 63     # So ebp at this point is X-16.
 64     #
 65     # So the return address for the next call in the caller is:
 66     #   ebp+8 if the caller takes 4 bytes of args
