[Bug middle-end/29166] New: broken unwind information for many life variables resulting in register corruption

[matz at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Attached is a testcase which shows that some registers are clobbered
over throwing/catching an exception:

bash>c++ unwind_test.cpp                
bash>./a.out                            
Checksum not OK ( 42895 != 58377 ).     
Register corruption in stack unwinding.

In the debugger you can see, that the fixed integer registers r4-r7 are 
not reset correctly during stack unwinding. The value of the            
callee-saved registers r4-r7 differ before and after the call to test() 
from main().

This error was reported against gcc-3.3.3 but still happens with gcc 4.1.
