# Insert GAS CFI directives ("control frame information") into x86-32 asm input
#
# CFI directives tell the assembler how to generate "stack frame" debug info
# This information can tell a debugger (like gdb) how to find the current stack
#   frame at any point in the program code, and how to find the values which
#   various registers had at higher points in the call stack
# With this information, the debugger can show a backtrace, and you can move up
#   and down the call stack and examine the values of local variables
