Summary

Prior to the addition of the referenceCount in __cxa_exception the unwindHeader was at offset 0x50, and it requires 16-byte alignment. Add padding in the same location that it will appear in libstdc++.

Avoid changing the __cxa_exception ABI in 11.

The addition of the referenceCount to __cxa_allocate_exception put the unwindHeader at offset 0x58, but it requires 16-byte alignment. In order to avoid changing the broken __cxa_exception ABI (and thus breaking its consumers), add explicit padding in the allocation routins (and account for it when freeing).

Should this be // comments instead?

dim edited edge metadata.

LGTM. This looks like the least intrusive solution.

Not necessary, for instance the block below it uses /**, which appears to be used for longer comments (though not very consistently).

It would be nice if this could be computed with offsetof(), sizeof() and alignof(), rather than being hard-coded.
