Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description John Walter 2016-09-13 19:47:33 UTC
Description of problem:
Calls to `std::uncaught_exception` after calling
`std::rethrow_exception' always return `true' when
`std::uncaught_exception' should return `false' unless an exception is
in flight. `std::rethrow_exception' does not update
`__cxa_eh_globals::uncaughtExceptions' while the following call to
`__cxa_begin_catch' decrements it. This fixes PR 62258.


How reproducible:
Always

This is a two-line patch that is already fixed upstream.

Comment 6 Rob Riggs 2016-09-22 14:58:30 UTC
Affects RHEL 6.7 as well.  Probably introduced here in RHEL6

* Tue Apr 15 2014 Marek Polacek <polacek> 4.4.7-5
- fix std::uncaught_exception (#1085442, PR c++/59224)

as a side-effect since the problem does not manifest with libstdc++-4.4.7-3.

This is an issue when using devtoolset compilers on RHEL6, esp. when using C++11 std::future with exceptions, which uses std::rethrow_exception() to move the exceptions across threads.

Comment 19 Michael Petlan 2017-05-31 14:06:37 UTC
The related test passes on all architectures with gcc-4.8.5-14.el7.
VERIFIED.
