Re: [PATCH v10 1/1] aarch64: Implement Structured Exception Handling (SEH) on AArch64
This discussion on implementing Structured Exception Handling (SEH) for AArch64 addresses feedback from a previous review. The proposer clarifies misunderstandings regarding the renaming of variables (offset_shift vs. offset_multipler) and explains the rationale behind the exception handling logic for function sizes. Concerns about big-endian host validation are also acknowledged, with a commitment to address it.
