This commit is an update to the `AbortUnwindingCalls` MIR pass in the
compiler. Specifically a new boolean is added for "can this target
possibly unwind" and if that's `false` then terminators are all adjusted
to be unreachable/not present. The end result is that this fixes 140293
for wasm targets.
The motivation for this PR is that currently on WebAssembly targets the
usage of the `C-unwind` ABI can lead LLVM to either (a) emit
exception-handling instructions or (b) hit a LLVM-ICE-style codegen
error. WebAssembly as a base instruction set does not support unwinding
at all, and a later proposal to WebAssembly, the exception-handling
proposal, was what enabled this. This means that the current intent of
WebAssembly targets is that they maintain the baseline of "don't emit
exception-handling instructions unless enabled". The commit here is
intended to restore this behavior by skipping these instructions even
when `C-unwind` is present.
Exception-handling is a relatively tricky and also murky topic in
WebAssembly, however. There are two sets of instructions LLVM can emit
for WebAssembly exceptions, Rust's Emscripten target supports
exceptions, WASI targets do not, the LLVM flags to enable this are not
always obvious, and additionally this all touches on "changing
exception-handling behavior should be a target-level concern, not a
feature". Effectively WebAssembly's exception-handling integration into
Rust is not finalized at this time. The best idea at this time is that a
parallel set of targets will eventually be added which support
exceptions, but it's not clear if/when to do this. In the meantime the
goal is to keep existing targets working while still enabling
experimentation with exception-handling with `-Zbuild-std` and various
permutations of LLVM flags.
To that extent this commit does not blanket disable these landing pads
and cleanup routines for WebAssembly but instead checks to see if
panic=unwind is enabled or if `+exception-handling` is enabled. Tests
are updated here as well to account for this where, by default, using a
`C-unwind` ABI won't affect Rust codegen at all. If
`+exception-handling` is enabled, however, then Rust codegen will look
like native platforms where exceptions are caught and the program aborts.
More-or-less I've done my best to keep exceptions working on wasm where
it's possible to have them work, but turned them off where they're not
supposed to be emitted.
