[clang] [clang] Fix catching pointers by reference on mingw targets (PR #162546)

[Martin Storsjö via cfe-commits]

https://github.com/mstorsjo created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/162546

For this specific case, when catching a pointer data type, by reference, Clang generates a special code pattern, which directly accesses the exception data by skipping past the `_Unwind_Exception` manually (rather than using the return value of `__cxa_begin_catch`).

On most platforms, `_Unwind_Exception` is 32 bytes, but in some configurations it's different. (ARM EHABI is one preexisting case.) In the case of SEH, it's also different - it is 48 bytes in 32 bit mode and 64 bytes in 64 bit mode. (See the SEH ifdef in `_Unwind_Exception` in `clang/lib/Headers/unwind.h`.)

Handle this case in `TargetCodeGenInfo::getSizeOfUnwindException`, fixing the code generation for catching pointers by reference.

This fixes https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/issues/522.

Subject: [PATCH] [clang] Fix catching pointers by reference on mingw targets

For this specific case, when catching a pointer data type, by
reference, Clang generates a special code pattern, which directly
accesses the exception data by skipping past the `_Unwind_Exception`
manually (rather than using the return value of `__cxa_begin_catch`).

On most platforms, `_Unwind_Exception` is 32 bytes, but in some
configurations it's different. (ARM EHABI is one preexisting case.)
In the case of SEH, it's also different - it is 48 bytes in 32 bit
mode and 64 bytes in 64 bit mode.

Handle this case in `TargetCodeGenInfo::getSizeOfUnwindException`,
fixing the code generation for catching pointers by reference.

This fixes https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/issues/522.
