9// This transformation is designed for use by code generators which use
10// WebAssembly exception handling scheme. This currently supports C++
11// exceptions.
12//
13// WebAssembly exception handling uses Windows exception IR for the middle level
14// representation. This pass does the following transformation for every
15// catchpad block:
16// (In C-style pseudocode)
17//
18// - Before:
19// catchpad ...
20// exn = wasm.get.exception();
21// selector = wasm.get.selector();
22// ...
23//
24// - After:
25// catchpad ...
26// exn = wasm.catch(WebAssembly::CPP_EXCEPTION);
27// // Only add below in case it's not a single catch (...)
28// wasm.landingpad.index(index);
29// __wasm_lpad_context.lpad_index = index;
30// __wasm_lpad_context.lsda = wasm.lsda();
31// _Unwind_CallPersonality(exn);
32// selector = __wasm_lpad_context.selector;
33// ...
34//
35//
36// * Background: Direct personality function call
37// In WebAssembly EH, the VM is responsible for unwinding the stack once an
38// exception is thrown. After the stack is unwound, the control flow is
39// transfered to WebAssembly 'catch' instruction.
40//
41// Unwinding the stack is not done by libunwind but the VM, so the personality
42// function in libcxxabi cannot be called from libunwind during the unwinding
43// process. So after a catch instruction, we insert a call to a wrapper function
44// in libunwind that in turn calls the real personality function.
45//
46// In Itanium EH, if the personality function decides there is no matching catch
47// clause in a call frame and no cleanup action to perform, the unwinder doesn't
48// stop there and continues unwinding. But in Wasm EH, the unwinder stops at
49// every call frame with a catch intruction, after which the personality
50// function is called from the compiler-generated user code here.
51//
52// In libunwind, we have this struct that serves as a communincation channel
53// between the compiler-generated user code and the personality function in
54// libcxxabi.
55//
56// struct _Unwind_LandingPadContext {
57// uintptr_t lpad_index;
58// uintptr_t lsda;
59// uintptr_t selector;
60// };
61// struct _Unwind_LandingPadContext __wasm_lpad_context = ...;
62//
63// And this wrapper in libunwind calls the personality function.
64//
65// _Unwind_Reason_Code _Unwind_CallPersonality(void *exception_ptr) {
66// struct _Unwind_Exception *exception_obj =
67// (struct _Unwind_Exception *)exception_ptr;
68// _Unwind_Reason_Code ret = __gxx_personality_v0(
69// 1, _UA_CLEANUP_PHASE, exception_obj->exception_class, exception_obj,
70// (struct _Unwind_Context *)__wasm_lpad_context);
71// return ret;
72// }
73//
74// We pass a landing pad index, and the address of LSDA for the current function
75// to the wrapper function _Unwind_CallPersonality in libunwind, and we retrieve
76// the selector after it returns.
