Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR enables dynamic-construction errors to unwind through one boundary, but a forwarding wrapper still prevents those errors from propagating safely; affected constructor TypeErrors may continue to terminate the runtime instead of being catchable, so the wrapper ABI should be fixed before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Rust Reference C-unwind ABI non-unwinding ABI panic unwinding across extern C function boundary
💡 Result:
In Rust, the behavior of panic unwinding across an FFI boundary depends on the specified Application Binary Interface (ABI) and the panic strategy [1][2]. The "C-unwind" ABI (and other variants like "system-unwind") is explicitly designed to support safe unwinding across FFI boundaries [3][4][5]. When a function is declared with an "-unwind" suffix (e.g., extern "C-unwind"), the compiler allows Rust panics or foreign exceptions to traverse these frames, provided the panic=unwind strategy is used [3][2]. This enables scenarios such as a C++ exception propagating through Rust frames or a Rust panic unwinding through C++ frames [3][6]. Conversely, standard ABIs (such as "C", "system", etc.) do not permit unwinding [3][2]. If a Rust panic attempts to cross an FFI boundary defined with a non-unwinding ABI (like extern "C"), the Rust runtime is designed to safely abort the process rather than allowing the panic to propagate, provided the panic=unwind strategy is active [7][2][8]. However, the reverse scenario—a foreign exception (e.g., from C++) entering Rust through an extern "C" boundary—is considered undefined behavior (UB), as Rust assumes foreign code called via standard ABIs will not unwind [1][2]. Key points regarding these boundaries: - "C-unwind" ABI: Supports unwinding in both directions when using panic=unwind [3][2]. - Standard ABIs (e.g., "C"): Do not support unwinding. Rust panics attempting to escape these boundaries will trigger a safe abort [7][2]. - Undefined Behavior: Occurs when a foreign exception enters Rust through a non-unwinding ABI boundary or when a function is called with an ABI that does not match its definition [1][2]. - Panic=abort: When the program is compiled with panic=abort, any panic! will immediately abort the process, regardless of the ABI specified [2][9].

Propagate C-unwind through js_new_function_construct_with_new_target.
If a TypeError unwinds from its calls to js_new_function_construct, Rust aborts at the wrapper's extern "C" boundary instead of reaching the JavaScript catch landing pad. Change the wrapper to extern "C-unwind" and add a matching four-argument function-pointer assertion.
