=head1 NAME

src/cpu_dep.c - CPU-dependent functions

=head1 DESCRIPTION

These functions are called while stackwalking during dead object
destruction. They implement conditional CPU-specific behaviour related
to register windowing.

Register windowing is a technique which avoids having to empty registers
by moving a virtual window up/down the register stack restricting the
number of registers which are visible.

Remember you read something about it in F<docs/infant.dev>?
