Emscripten wasm32 compilation broken

[creikey]

I tried this code:

fn main() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
}

I expected to see this happen: Compiling with rustc --target=wasm32-unknown-emscripten main.rs , after the emsdk is activated and emcc works, to compile properly

Instead, this happened: Prints this error:

  = note: error: undefined symbol: __gxx_personality_v0 (referenced by top-level compiled C/C++ code)
          warning: Link with `-s LLD_REPORT_UNDEFINED` to get more information on undefined symbols
          warning: To disable errors for undefined symbols use `-s ERROR_ON_UNDEFINED_SYMBOLS=0`
          warning: ___gxx_personality_v0 may need to be added to EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS if it arrives from a system library
          Error: Aborting compilation due to previous errors
          emcc: error: 'C:/Users/camer/Documents/Tech/emsdk/node/14.15.5_64bit/bin/node.exe C:\Users\camer\Documents\Tech\emsdk\upstream\emscripten\src\compiler.js C:\Users\camer\AppData\Local\Temp\tmprxn1kc58.txt' failed (returned 1)

I've tried adding -lstdc++ to no avail

Also is broken on ubuntu with the same error message (at least windows subsystem for linux)

Here's some info I gathered:

• Rust tries to use __gxx_personality_v0. I think Rust is assuming that this symbol comes from emscripten.
• emscripten has a few different libc++abi implementations:
  • libc++abi.a: emscripten exceptions: this is what rustc is trying to use; does not compile cxx_personality.cpp
  • libc++abi-noexcept.a: no exceptions: does not compile cxx_personality.cpp
  • libc++abi-except.a: wasm exceptions: experimental; exports __gxx_personality_wasm0
• git log in emscripten's repo shows that cxa_personality.cpp was never compiled into libc++abi.a by tools/system_libs.py.
• This commit looks suspicious: emscripten-core/emscripten@b43d3de
• Prior to emscripten SDK version 2.0.10, I think __gxx_personality_v0 has been stubbed out for 6 years and never did anything.
• Rust probably shouldn't be calling a stubbed function. emcc.rs seems untested if you ask me because I don't know how it could ever have worked.

I successfully compiled hello world with emscripten SDK version 2.0.9. That version still has the __gxx_personality_v0 stub.

thanks @strager for the analysis.

Assigning priority as discussed in the Zulip thread of the Prioritization Working Group. Let's find someone who can have a look at this.
