+    Language Specific Data Area.  C++ "zero cost" unwinding is built on top a

+    a "personality" function to do language specific analysis.  Each function's
+    FDE points to an optional LSDA which is passed to the personality function.
+    For C++, the LSDA contain info about the type and location of catch
