In section 2.2.1 C++ Exception Objects, the text part says that the unwind
header
structure is followed by the exception object itself, where as the layout
of the structure is just the opposite. Can someone tell me which is the
correct
one.
Below is part of the section.
Thanks

2.2.1 C++ Exception Objects
A C++ exception object consists of a header, which is a wrapper around an
unwind object header with additional C++ specific information, followed by
the exception object itself. The structure of the header is as follows:
struct __cxa_exception {
std::type_info * exceptionType;
void (*exceptionDestructor) (void *);
unexpected_handler unexpectedHandler;
terminate_handler terminateHandler;
__cxa_exception * nextException;
int handlerCount;
int handlerSwitchValue;
const char * actionRecord;
const char * languageSpecificData;
void * catchTemp;
void * adjustedPtr;
_Unwind_Exception unwindHeader;
};
