Weird Exception Handling Compilation Bug

Hi all,

When I compile the following program with llvm-gcc on Mac x86, it segfaults:

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  try {
    throw argc;
  } catch(int i) {
    return i;
  }

  return 0;
}

$ llvm-g++ -o t t.cpp
$ ./t
Segmentation fault

However, if I compile it to a .s file and then compile it with gcc, it
works fine:

$ llvm-g++ -S t.cpp -o zz.s
$ g++ -o zz zz.s
$ ./zz 1 2 3
$ echo $?
4

This is weird. Anyone have an idea of what's going on?

They are probably linking against different libstdc++ versions. Passing -v to the compiler should print the command line passed to the linker.

Note that libstdc++ in the llvm-gcc repo isn't ABI compatible with the mac OS X system libstdc++.

Ah! Okay. That would seem to be the problem then. GCC's getting the
libstdc++ from another directory.

Make sure to remove your llvm-gcc/libstdc++ directory as mentioned by the README.LLVM file for darwin platforms. If you already built it, you probably should nuke your entire objdir and recreate it.
