     33 // This is an internal header file used by profiler.cc.  It defines
     34 // the single (inline) function GetPC.  GetPC is used in a signal
     35 // handler to figure out the instruction that was being executed when
     36 // the signal-handler was triggered.
     37 //
     38 // To get this, we use the ucontext_t argument to the signal-handler
     39 // callback, which holds the full context of what was going on when
     40 // the signal triggered.  How to get from a ucontext_t to a Program
     41 // Counter is OS-dependent.

     72 // is not properly set up (either before it's done being set up, or
