Description Matthew Saltzman 2002-05-13 02:54:56 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020408

Description of problem:
Throwing user-defined exception causes segfault.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.96-98


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Unpack attached example and cd into directory.
2. make
3. make unitTest
4. ./Linux-g/unitTest
	

Actual Results:  Prints:

Testing OsiPackedMatrix
Segmentation fault

DDD reports:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x400bb459 in __cp_pop_exception (p=0x400bb38c) from
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3



Expected Results:  Shoud print:

Testing OsiPackedMatrix
Error Thrown: 1



Additional info:

By "always reproducible, I mean with the attached code, not with any code.

The attached example contains a fairly large amount of code.  The execution path
is actually quite short, however this bug seems to be highly location-dependent.
 Deleting any of the other object files that are included causes the bug to not
be exercised.

The problem occurs with gcc-c++-2.96-98. The Valhalla compiler gcc-c++-2.96-110
does not exhibit the problem on this code, however I did not see any indication
that a problem like this was fixed.  gcc-2.95.3 also does not exhibit the
problem.  It is possible that other differences in these compilers move things
around so that the bug is simply not exercised.
