Runtime library support for Wasmer
Documentation
//! Implementation of personality function and unwinding support for Wasmer.
//!
//! On a native platform, when an exception is thrown, the type info of the
//! exception is known, and can be matched against the LSDA table within the
//! personality function (e.g. __gxx_personality_v0 for Itanium ABI).
//!
//! However, in WASM, the exception "type" can change between compilation
//! and instantiation because tags can be imported from other modules. Also,
//! a single module can be instantiated many times, but all instances share
//! the same code, differing only in their VMContext data. This means that,
//! to be able to match the thrown exception against the expected tag in
//! catch clauses, we need to go through the VMContext of the specific instance
//! to which the stack frame belongs; nothing else can tell us exactly which
//! instance we're currently looking at, including the IP which will be the
//! same for all instances of the same module.
//!
//! To achieve this, we use a two-stage personality function. The first stage
//! is the normal personality function which is called by libunwind; this
//! function always catches the exception as long as it's a Wasmer exception,
//! without looking at the specific tags. Afterwards, control is transferred
//! to the module's landing pad, which can load its VMContext and pass it to
//! the second stage of the personality function. Afterwards, the second stage
//! can take the "local tag number" (the tag index as seen from the WASM
//! module's point of view) from the LSDA and translate it to the unique tag
//! within the Store, and match that against the thrown exception's tag.
//!
//! The throw function also uses the VMContext of its own instance to get the
//! unique tag from the Store, and uses that as the final exception tag.
//!
//! It's important to note that we can't count on libunwind behaving properly
//! if we make calls from the second stage of the personality function; this is
//! why the first stage has to extract all the data necessary for the second
//! stage and place it in the exception object. The second stage will clear
//! out the data before returning, so further stack frames will not get stale
//! data by mistake.
