/**
 * A error handler that reports unexpected traps and calls the scheduler to
 * request that the simulator exit with exit code 1 (FAILURE).
 *
 * This is useful because the default behaviour in the absence of an error
 * handler is to unwind the trusted stack and exit the thread when the top of
 * the stack is reached. If all threads exit then the scheduler will exit the
 * simulation with SUCCESS, which might mask errors.
 *
 * We attempt to detect the trap that occurs when a thread returns from its
 * entry point function and do not halt the simulation as this is considered
 * normal.
 *
 * Unwinds caused by errors in called compartments are also detected and are not
 * treated as errors -- instead we resume execution at the call point with a
 * return value of -1 as though this handler is not present.
 *
 * On non-simulation platforms this error handler reverts to the default force
 * unwind behaviour.
 *
 * If NDEBUG is not defined then errors and thread exits will be logged.
 *
 * To use this simply include this file in your compartment's c / cc file.
