unw_flush_cache - Man Page

#include <libunwind.h>

void unw_flush_cache(unw_addr_space_t as, unw_word_t lo, unw_word_t hi);

The unw_flush_cache() routine flushes all cached info as it  relates to address range lo to hi (non-inclusive) in the  target address space as. In addition, all info cached for  address space as that is not tied to a particular code range is  also flushed. For example, the address of the dynamic registration  list is not tied to a code range and its cached value (if any) is  flushed by a call to this routine. The address range specified by  lo and hi should be understood as a hint:  unw_flush_cache() may flush more information than requested,  but never less. In other words, unw_flush_cache() may  overflush, but not underflush.

As a special case, if arguments lo and hi are both 0, all  information cached on behalf of address space as is flushed.

The unw_flush_cache() routine cannot fail and does not  return a value.

The unw_flush_cache() routine is thread safe as well as safe to  use from a signal handler.
