Good afternoon, In case anyone else is interested, here are our recent experimental results regarding throwing exceptions across shared libraries. I corrected and changed the subject line a bit from the orignal with the aim of helping future archive searches. Using gcc 4.1.0 on x86 Linux 2.6: Using shared-libgcc and shared libstdc++, throwing exceptions across shared libraries works with no observed errors. Using -static-libgcc, and a statically-linked libstdc++, throwing exceptiosn across shared libraries sometimes works correctly, but sometimes does not. Throwing exceptions from one shared library to the calling executable works with no observed errors. Using gcc 3.2 on sparc Solaris: Using -shared-libgcc and shared libstdc++, throwing exceptions across shared libraries works with no observed errors. Using -static-libgcc and a statically-linked libstdc++, throwing exceptions across shared libraries appears to never work correctly. Throwing exceptions from one shared library to the calling executable works with no observed errors. Thanks, --Glenn S.
