10 // This transformation is designed for use by code generators which use
11 // WebAssembly exception handling scheme.
13 // WebAssembly exception handling uses Windows exception IR for the middle level
14 // representation. This pass does the following transformation for every
16 // (In C-style pseudocode)
20 // exn = wasm.get.exception();
21 // selector = wasm.get.selector();
26 // exn = wasm.catch(0); // 0 is a tag for C++
27 // wasm.landingpad.index(index);
28 // // Only add below in case it's not a single catch (...)
29 // __wasm_lpad_context.lpad_index = index;
30 // __wasm_lpad_context.lsda = wasm.lsda();
31 // _Unwind_CallPersonality(exn);
32 // int selector = __wasm.landingpad_context.selector;
35 // Also, does the following for a cleanuppad block with a call to
36 // __clang_call_terminate():
39 // exn = wasm.get.exception();
40 // __clang_call_terminate(exn);
44 // exn = wasm.catch(0); // 0 is a tag for C++
45 // __clang_call_terminate(exn);
48 // * Background: WebAssembly EH instructions
49 // WebAssembly's try and catch instructions are structured as follows:
59 // A catch instruction in WebAssembly does not correspond to a C++ catch clause.
60 // In WebAssembly, there is a single catch instruction for all C++ exceptions.
61 // There can be more catch instructions for exceptions in other languages, but
62 // they are not generated for now. catch_all catches all exceptions including
63 // foreign exceptions (e.g. JavaScript). We turn catchpads into catch (C++ tag)
64 // and cleanuppads into catch_all, with one exception: cleanuppad with a call to
65 // __clang_call_terminate should be both in catch (C++ tag) and catch_all.
68 // * Background: Direct personality function call
69 // In WebAssembly EH, the VM is responsible for unwinding the stack once an
70 // exception is thrown. After the stack is unwound, the control flow is
71 // transfered to WebAssembly 'catch' instruction, which returns a caught
74 // Unwinding the stack is not done by libunwind but the VM, so the personality
75 // function in libcxxabi cannot be called from libunwind during the unwinding
76 // process. So after a catch instruction, we insert a call to a wrapper function
77 // in libunwind that in turn calls the real personality function.
79 // In Itanium EH, if the personality function decides there is no matching catch
80 // clause in a call frame and no cleanup action to perform, the unwinder doesn't
81 // stop there and continues unwinding. But in Wasm EH, the unwinder stops at
82 // every call frame with a catch intruction, after which the personality
83 // function is called from the compiler-generated user code here.
85 // In libunwind, we have this struct that serves as a communincation channel
86 // between the compiler-generated user code and the personality function in
89 // struct _Unwind_LandingPadContext {
90 // uintptr_t lpad_index;
92 // uintptr_t selector;
94 // struct _Unwind_LandingPadContext __wasm_lpad_context = ...;
96 // And this wrapper in libunwind calls the personality function.
98 // _Unwind_Reason_Code _Unwind_CallPersonality(void *exception_ptr) {
99 // struct _Unwind_Exception *exception_obj =
100 // (struct _Unwind_Exception *)exception_ptr;
101 // _Unwind_Reason_Code ret = __gxx_personality_v0(
102 // 1, _UA_CLEANUP_PHASE, exception_obj->exception_class, exception_obj,
103 // (struct _Unwind_Context *)__wasm_lpad_context);
107 // We pass a landing pad index, and the address of LSDA for the current function
108 // to the wrapper function _Unwind_CallPersonality in libunwind, and we retrieve
109 // the selector after it returns.
