Backport 1ee712ab8687e5f4dec93d45da068d37d28feb8b from V8 upstream.
Original commit message:
Add SetAbortOnUncaughtExceptionCallback API
The --abort-on-uncaught-exception command line switch makes
Isolate::Throw abort if the error being thrown cannot be caught by a
try/catch block.
Embedders may want to use other mechanisms than try/catch blocks to
handle uncaught exceptions. For instance, Node.js has "domain" objects
that have error handlers that can handle uncaught exception like
following:
var d = domain.create();
d.on('error', function onError(err) {
console.log('Handling error');
});
d.run(function() {
throw new Error("boom");
});
These error handlers are called by isolates' message listeners.
If --abort-on-uncaught-exception is *not* used, the isolate's
message listener will be called, which will in turn call the domain's
error handler. The process will output 'Handling error' and will exit
successfully (not due to an uncaught exception). This is the behavior
that Node.js users expect.
However, if --abort-on-uncaught-exception is used and when throwing an
error within a domain that has an error handler, the process will abort
and the domain's error handler will not be called. This is not the
behavior that Node.js users expect.
Having a SetAbortOnUncaughtExceptionCallback API allows embedders to
determine when it's not appropriate to abort and instead handle the
exception via the isolate's message listener.
In the example above, Node.js would set a custom callback with
SetAbortOnUncaughtExceptionCallback that would be implemented as
following (the sample code has been simplified to remove what's not
relevant to this change):
bool ShouldAbortOnUncaughtException(Isolate* isolate) {
return !IsDomainActive();
}
Now when --abort-on-uncaught-exception is used, Isolate::Throw would
call that callback and determine that it should not abort if a domain
with an error handler is active. Instead, the isolate's message listener
would be called and the error would be handled by the domain's error
handler.
I believe this can also be useful for other embedders.
