Hello, I really have a strange probleme with exception handling accross shared library. It's working sometimes, and sometimes not. I explain: I've got a program 'prog' that is link together with a shared library 'CDK'. This 'CDK' load another shared library 'plugin' with libtool but it's not link with this 'plugin'. I've write an exception handler in the 'prog' that catch all exception thrown from 'CDK' (which can also be thrown from 'plugin'). I've declare an object 'Exception' some other one derivated from this last one: - NotEnoughMemoryException - DataBaseException - OverflowException - ... And in the main : try { ... some instructions ... } catch ( Exception& p_excp ) { // see below } catch ( std::exception& p_excp ) { std::cerr << p_excp.what() << '\n'; } catch ( ... ) { std::cerr << "Unknown Exception\n"; } What is really strange is that in the exception handler, when I throw exception NotEnoughMemory the exception work correctly and I'm able to write information about the exception type such as 'typeid(p_excp).name()'. But, If I throw a DataBaseException, I've got a segmentation fault when calling 'typeid(p_excp).name()'. Both Exception are define exactly the same way: That is class NotEnoughMemory : public Exception {}; class DataBaseException : public Exception {}; Does someone already have such probleme ? Is it a Bug ? (In this case I will submit full information as explain in submit a bug report) Thanks for any help Laurent Marzullo
