Bug#364231: exception catching broken on HPPA

["Steve M. Robbins" <steven.robbins@videotron.ca>]

Package: g++-4.0
Version: 4.0.3-1
Severity: grave

Hi,

Ignore the architecture below -- this report is about HPPA.
Here's a simple program that runs fine on my x86 box, but fails
on Paer (2.6.16-1-parisc64-smp #2 SMP).

smr@paer:~/gmp-4.2.dfsg/tests/cxx$ cat test-throw.cc
#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>


using namespace std;


class A
{
public:
  void throwMe()
  {
    if ( 1 )
      throw std::invalid_argument( "booger" );
  }
};


int main(int ac, char* av[])
{
  A a;

  {
    try
      {
        a.throwMe();
        cout << "Got here, but should not have\n";
      }
    catch (invalid_argument)
      {
        cout << "Caught the exception as expected\n";
      }
  }

  return 0;
}

smr@paer:~/gmp-4.2.dfsg/tests/cxx$ g++ -Wall test-throw.cc && ./a.out
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libgcc_s.so.4, needed by /usr/lib/gcc/hppa-linux-gnu/4.0.3/libstdc++.so, may conflict with libgcc_s.so.2
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libgcc_s.so.4, needed by /usr/lib/gcc/hppa-linux-gnu/4.0.3/libstdc++.so, may conflict with libgcc_s.so.2
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::invalid_argument'
terminate called recursively
Aborted

This breaks compilation of GMP, for example.

Cheers,
