Add a Windows EH preparation pass that zaps resumes

Details

Summary

If the personality is not a recognized MSVC personality function, this
pass delegates to the dwarf EH preparation pass. This chaining supports
people on *-windows-itanium or *-windows-gnu targets.

Currently this recognizes some personalities used by MSVC and turns
resume instructions into traps to avoid link errors. Even if cleanups
are not used in the source program, LLVM requires the frontend to emit a
code path that resumes unwinding after an exception. Clang does this,
and we get unreachable resume instructions. PR20300 covers cleaning up
these unreachable calls to resume.

I don't see an IR->IR test, could we have one for this transform?

LPads.back() perhaps?

I bet you intended on using this LPads vector in the future, right now it seems pretty useless though.

92–93

Why do you create a call to @llvm.trap and an unreachable instruction?

Does it make sense to do this unconditionally, even if the function has MSVC personality?

Seems like the IR to IR test worked... I'm surprised TargetMachine isn't null, causing DwarfEHPrepare crashes... but I'll take what I can get.

lib/CodeGen/WinEHPrepare.cpp
28–29

True, thanks. This was cribbed from DwarfEHPrepare.

78

Sure. I am collecting the landing pads for future use.

92–93

unreachable is typically not ud2a, but literally "nothing" on non-windows platforms, but I guess unreachable is fine on Windows. We'll get one ud2a.

101

Yes, this is whole module finalization, so some functions could be MSVC and some could be GCC.

105

ditto
