When outputing a non-lazy pointer for a stub, we may need to fill in the value
for the NLP because the object it's pointing to may be internal to the file. This seems counter-intuitive, but bear with me. When we place the LSDA into the TEXT section, the type info pointers need to be indirect and pc-rel. We accomplish this by using NLPs. However, sometimes the types are local to the file. GCC gets around this by not using a NLP in this case, but a "regular" indirection like this: GCC_except_tbl: .long Lfoo-. __ZTIA: @ This is local ... Lfoo: .long __ZTIA LLVM prefers NLPs on Darwin. In fact, it's more optimal for load performance to use them. llvm-svn: 98218
