21 // selector = wasm.get.selector();

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.
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.
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.
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
56 // struct _Unwind_LandingPadContext {
57 // uintptr_t lpad_index;
59 // uintptr_t selector;
61 // struct _Unwind_LandingPadContext __wasm_lpad_context = ...;
63 // And this wrapper in libunwind calls the personality function.
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);
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.
