Summary:
For a static object with a nontrivial destructor, clang generates an
initializer function (__cxx_global_var_init) which registers that
object's destructor using __cxa_atexit. However some ABIs (ARM,
WebAssembly) use destructors that return 'this' instead of having void
return (which does not match the signature of function pointers passed
to __cxa_atexit). This results in undefined behavior when the destructors are
called. All the calling conventions I know of on ARM can tolerate this,
but WebAssembly requires the signatures of indirect calls to match the
called function.
This patch disables that direct registration of destructors for ABIs
that have this-returning destructors.
