Bug 1408291

Description of problem:
When attempting to rebuild the gtest-1.7.0 package in Fedora 25, we discovered the build was failing due to self-test failures. Further investigation revealed that the package build and self-tests would succeed if the default C++ optimization flag (-O2) was removed. It was found that executables compiled with C++  optimization would segfault instead of properly handling exceptions.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gcc-c++-6.2.1-2.fc25.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo dnf install gcc-c++ cmake
2. mkdir workspace
3. cd workspace
4. wget https://github.com/google/googletest/archive/release-1.7.0/gtest-1.7.0.zip
5. unzip gtest-1.7.0.zip
6. GTEST_DIR=$(pwd)/googletest-release-1.7.0
7. mkdir build-unopt
8. pushd build-unopt
9. cmake -Dgtest_build_tests=ON ${GTEST_DIR}
10. VERBOSE=1 make CXX_FLAGS= gtest_catch_exceptions_ex_test_ gtest_catch_exceptions_no_ex_test_
11. ctest -R gtest_catch_exceptions_test
12. ./gtest_catch_exceptions_ex_test_
13. ./gtest_catch_exceptions_no_ex_test_
14. popd
15. mkdir build-optimized
16. pushd build-optimized
17. cmake -Dgtest_build_tests=ON ${GTEST_DIR}
18. VERBOSE=1 make CXX_FLAGS=-O gtest_catch_exceptions_ex_test_ gtest_catch_exceptions_no_ex_test_
19. ctest -R gtest_catch_exceptions_test
20. ./gtest_catch_exceptions_ex_test_
21. ./gtest_catch_exceptions_no_ex_test_

Actual results:

"ctest -R gtest_catch_exceptions_test" passes when executables are compiled without optimization, but fails when compiled with optimization.

When the compiled executables (./gtest_catch_exceptions_ex_test_ and ./gtest_catch_exceptions_no_ex_test_) are run directly from the command line, the UN-optimized versions run to completion with the gtest framework catching the exceptions. The optimized versions segfault--which is why the above "ctest ..." fails.

Expected results:

"ctest -R gtest_catch_exceptions_test" should always pass, regardless if the binaries are compiled with optimization or not.

The compiled executables should not segfault when run directly, regardless if the binaries are compiled with optimization or not.
