+This macro allows the target to add cpu and operating system specific
+code to the call-frame unwinder for use when there is no unwind data
+available.  The most common reason to implement this macro is to unwind
+through signal frames.
+
+This macro is called from @code{uw_frame_state_for} in @file{unwind-dw2.c}
+and @file{unwind-ia64.c}.  @var{context} is an @code{_Unwind_Context};
+@var{fs} is an @code{_Unwind_FrameState}.  Examine @code{context->ra}
+for the address of the code being executed and @code{context->cfa} for
+the stack pointer value.  If the frame can be decoded, the register save
+addresses should be updated in @var{fs} and the macro should branch to
+@var{success}.  If the frame cannot be decoded, the macro should do 
+nothing.
