Bug#228099: g++-3.3: exception in constructor of a class to be thrown is not caught

[Alexander Motzkau <a.motzkau@web.de>]

Package: g++-3.3
Version: 1:3.3.2-4
Severity: normal

Hi there,

Running the following code compiled with 'g++-3.3 testex.cc'
results in a SIGABRT. I see no reason why this should happen.
With g++ 3.2 it works, i.e. the exception 1 in A() is caught
by the try-block.


# 1 "testex.cc"
# 1 "<built-in>"
# 1 "<command line>"
# 1 "testex.cc"
class A
{
    public:
        A() {throw(1);}
};

int main(int argc, char *argv)
{
    try
    {
        throw A();
    }
    catch(...)
    {
    }
}


Regards,

Alexander Motzkau
