Does it mean, LLVM supports the new eh instructions early before and clang use it to implement the MSVC exception handling. What 4.0 did is just export those instructions into the documentation. And we won't change the clang eh implementation in fact, still use the landingpad inst for all platform ?

We don't use LandingPadInst for all platforms, we use it on all non-MSVC compatible platforms.  MSVC compatible EH uses the new mechanism.

Do we have any plan to make the new eh instructions as the default implementation for all platforms ?
No, that would result in a performance regression for non-MSVC exception handling.

Clang already supports the new C++ exception handling instructions, it uses them exclusively to implement MSVC compatible exception handling.  The landingpad scheme is retained because it provides a degree of flexibility (and thus optimization opportunities) which isn't available in the new instructions. 
Thank you.
