//
// This transformation is designed for use by code generators which use
// WebAssembly exception handling scheme.
//
// WebAssembly exception handling uses Windows exception IR for the middle level
// representation. This pass does the following transformation for every
// catchpad block:
// (In C-style pseudocode)
//
// - Before:
//   catchpad ...
//   exn = wasm.get.exception();
//   selector = wasm.get.selector();
//   ...
//
// - After:
//   catchpad ...
//   exn = wasm.catch(0); // 0 is a tag for C++
//   wasm.landingpad.index(index);
//   // Only add below in case it's not a single catch (...)
//   __wasm_lpad_context.lpad_index = index;
//   __wasm_lpad_context.lsda = wasm.lsda();
//   _Unwind_CallPersonality(exn);
//   int selector = __wasm.landingpad_context.selector;
//   ...
//
// Also, does the following for a cleanuppad block with a call to
// __clang_call_terminate():
// - Before:
//   cleanuppad ...
//   exn = wasm.get.exception();
//   __clang_call_terminate(exn);
//
// - After:
//   cleanuppad ...
//   exn = wasm.catch(0); // 0 is a tag for C++
//   __clang_call_terminate(exn);
//
//
// * Background: WebAssembly EH instructions
// WebAssembly's try and catch instructions are structured as follows:
// try
//   instruction*
// catch (C++ tag)
//   instruction*
// ...
// catch_all
//   instruction*
// try_end
//
// A catch instruction in WebAssembly does not correspond to a C++ catch clause.
// In WebAssembly, there is a single catch instruction for all C++ exceptions.
// There can be more catch instructions for exceptions in other languages, but
// they are not generated for now. catch_all catches all exceptions including
// foreign exceptions (e.g. JavaScript). We turn catchpads into catch (C++ tag)
// and cleanuppads into catch_all, with one exception: cleanuppad with a call to
// __clang_call_terminate should be both in catch (C++ tag) and catch_all.
//
//
// * Background: Direct personality function call
// In WebAssembly EH, the VM is responsible for unwinding the stack once an
// exception is thrown. After the stack is unwound, the control flow is
// transfered to WebAssembly 'catch' instruction, which returns a caught
// exception object.
//
// Unwinding the stack is not done by libunwind but the VM, so the personality
// function in libcxxabi cannot be called from libunwind during the unwinding
// process. So after a catch instruction, we insert a call to a wrapper function
// in libunwind that in turn calls the real personality function.
//
// In Itanium EH, if the personality function decides there is no matching catch
// clause in a call frame and no cleanup action to perform, the unwinder doesn't
// stop there and continues unwinding. But in Wasm EH, the unwinder stops at
// every call frame with a catch intruction, after which the personality
// function is called from the compiler-generated user code here.
//
// In libunwind, we have this struct that serves as a communincation channel
// between the compiler-generated user code and the personality function in
// libcxxabi.
//
// struct _Unwind_LandingPadContext {
//   uintptr_t lpad_index;
//   uintptr_t lsda;
//   uintptr_t selector;
// };
// struct _Unwind_LandingPadContext __wasm_lpad_context = ...;
//
// And this wrapper in libunwind calls the personality function.
//
// _Unwind_Reason_Code _Unwind_CallPersonality(void *exception_ptr) {
//   struct _Unwind_Exception *exception_obj =
//       (struct _Unwind_Exception *)exception_ptr;
//   _Unwind_Reason_Code ret = __gxx_personality_v0(
//       1, _UA_CLEANUP_PHASE, exception_obj->exception_class, exception_obj,
//       (struct _Unwind_Context *)__wasm_lpad_context);
//   return ret;
// }
//
// We pass a landing pad index, and the address of LSDA for the current function
// to the wrapper function _Unwind_CallPersonality in libunwind, and we retrieve
// the selector after it returns.
