[except.handle]/7 says that when we enter std::terminate due to a throw,
that is considered an active handler. We already implemented that properly
for the case of not finding a handler (__cxa_throw calls __cxa_begin_catch
before std::terminate) and the case of finding a callsite with no landing
pad (the personality function calls __cxa_call_terminate which calls
__cxa_begin_catch), but for the case of a throw in a try/catch in a noexcept
function, we were emitting a cleanup that calls std::terminate directly
without ever calling __cxa_begin_catch to handle the exception.
A straightforward way to fix this seems to be calling __cxa_call_terminate
instead. However, that requires exporting it from libstdc++, which we have
not previously done. Despite the name, it isn't actually part of the ABI
standard. Nor is __cxa_call_unexpected, as far as I can tell, but that one
is also used by clang. For this case they use __clang_call_terminate; it
seems reasonable to me for us to stick with __cxa_call_terminate.
I also change __cxa_call_terminate to take void* for simplicity in the front
end (and consistency with __cxa_call_unexpected) but that isn't necessary if
it's undesirable for some reason.
This patch does not fix the issue that representing the noexcept as a
cleanup is wrong, and confuses the handler search; since it looks like a
cleanup in the EH tables, the unwinder keeps looking until it finds the
catch in main(), which it should never have gotten to. Without the
try/catch in main, the unwinder would reach the end of the stack and say no
handler was found. The noexcept is a handler, and should be treated as one,
as it is when the landing pad is omitted.
The best fix for that issue seems to me to be to represent an
ERT_MUST_NOT_THROW after an ERT_TRY in an action list as though it were an
ERT_ALLOWED_EXCEPTIONS (since indeed it is an exception-specification). The
actual code generation shouldn't need to change (apart from the change made
by this patch), only the action table entry.
