[WebAssembly] Update WebAssemblyLowerEmscriptenEHSjLj to support separate compilation.

Details

Summary

Previously this pass would assume that it was running over the
entire program. This meant it could get away with creating the
two helper functions:

  • setThrew
  • setTempRet0

Instead we now assume these will be provided at link time. In
emscripten this will most likely be done via libcxxabi.

Additionally we previously created three global variable:

  • THREW
  • _threwValue
  • __tempRet0

These are now allow assumed to be available at link time, but
we also have to handle the case where they exist in the module
being compiled (e.g. when we are doing LTO with libcxxabi).

  1. For emscripten-based EH, we don't use a separate libcxxabi; emscripten provides handful of library functions in JavaScript. Are you planning to provide them from emscripten and import them from wasm?
  2. Because now this does not create those functions and global variables anymore, certain tests, such as lower-em-exceptions.ll, will fail. I guess you should update that as well.

Emscripten does have at least part of libcxxabi. All I need a library file where I can add these things. Here is my provisional change: https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/compare/sjlj?expand=1

Ah yes, thanks for pointing out that test. I will run them all an fix up.

Because you are gonna provide setThrew and setTempRet0 in a separate cpp file, "their values should be set in JS code" does not strictly sound correct, because that cpp file is gonna be a part of wasm as well. Could you elaborate that these functions will be provided from library that's a part of emscripten?

And for the equivalent asm.js version of JS code below ↓ , I know that's not a part of your change, but I think we can delete this by now, because we are gonna switch to the wasm as a default backend anyway. Maybe show the code in cpp form would be better.

Nit: LLVM style is GlobalVariable *V

Nit: no, those braces are needed IMHO :D

Re-opening since we need these symbols to be available pre-LTO.. i.e. before codegen.

At least in lld the policy is not to include them this these cases.
