Description Morten Sylvest Olsen 2006-03-23 15:45:26 UTC
Description of problem:

The following test program which demonstrates the problem dumps core with a
"FATAL: exception not rethrown" if cancellation is not disabled around the use 
of cout. Note that cancellation type is DEFERRED. 

#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <pthread.h>

using namespace std;

struct A {
    A( int x=0): b(x) { cout << "constructor: " << b << "\n"; }
    ~A() {cout << "destructor: " << b << "\n"; }
    int b;
};

void *
thread( void * arg )
{
    pthread_setcancelstate(PTHREAD_CANCEL_ENABLE, 0);
    pthread_setcanceltype(PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED, 0);

    try {
        A a;
        while (1) {
            cout << "going round round round\n";
            for (int i = 0; i < 100000000; ++i)
                ;

//            pthread_testcancel();
        }
    }
    catch (...) {
        cout << "caught ...\n";
        throw ;
    }
}

int
main()
{
    pthread_t t;
    pthread_attr_t a;

    pthread_create( &t, 0, thread, 0 );

    sleep(5);

    pthread_cancel(t);
    pthread_join( t, 0);
}


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  g++ -g test.cc -lpthread

FATAL: exception not rethrown
