ASAN violation in embind fromWireType for std::string #11598

Description

@jiulongw

This does not cause problem when ASAN is not enabled, but makes ASAN unusable since it always halt on this violation before actual problem can be detected.

Here's a minimal re-pro code:

// asan.cc
#include <emscripten/bind.h>

void call_js(emscripten::val v) {
  std::string p("hello");
  v(p);
}

EMSCRIPTEN_BINDINGS(m) {
  function("callback", &call_js);
}

With a pre-js to invoke the bindings

// asan-pre.js
Module.onRuntimeInitialized = () => {
  Module.callback((p) => { console.log("from wasm:", p); });
};

Runs fine without ASAN:

$ em++ --bind --pre-js asan-pre.js asan.cc -o asan.js && node asan.js
from wasm: hello

ASAN violation:

$ em++ --bind --pre-js asan-pre.js -fsanitize=address -s INITIAL_MEMORY=67108864 asan.cc -o asan.js && node asan.js

It seems to be related to #10844 where length is used instead of \0 to detected string boundaries.
