+**CIE**
+    Common Information Entry.  A kind of CFI used to reduce the size of FDEs.

+**LSDA**
+    Language Specific Data Area.  C++ "zero cost" unwinding is built on top a
+    generic unwinding mechanism.  As the unwinder walks each frame, it calls

+    For C++, the LSDA contain info about the type and location of catch
