unwinder is right and libgcc_s one is wrong.
I think the definition of _Unwind_GetCFA is ambiguous. It says "the
value of %rsp at the call site in the previous frame." GCC is
returning the value of %rsp at the point of the call to throw.
Solaris is returning the value of %rsp at the call to foo. I don't
know which is correct. _Unwind_GetCFA is not part of the C++
exception handling ABI; I'm not sure where it came from.
_Unwind_GetCFA() is defined in x86_64 psABI:
www.*x86*-*64*.org/documentation/*abi*.pdf
"6.2 Unwind Library Interface"
In my example foo_personality() is set as personality routine for foo()
so I assume the former is called with _Unwind_Context created for foo()
I.e. foo()'s stack frame is 'current' and from this pov the value of
'previous frame' is unambiguous -- it's main()'s frame.
BTW dwarf unwinding instructions generated by GCC use CFA-relative
addresses to locate registers saved on stack frame:
$ cat a.c
void foo()
{
}
$ /opt/csw/bin/gcc -m64 -c a.c
$ gobjdump -dr a.o
a.o: file format elf64-x86-64-sol2
Disassembly of section .text:

1: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
4: 5d pop %rbp
5: c3 retq
$ gobjdump -Wf a.o

Here CIE specifies that right before executing first instruction of
foo() CFA is RSP+8 and return address is stored at offset -8 from CFA.
Why do you want the CFA? Perhaps you can use _Unwind_GetGR or other
functions that are part of the C++ exception interface?
It's not me, it's author of LuaJIT who use CFA to get some state
information from stack frame.
