Is there a reason for this ? There are two versions of std::ios::failure, one using the old ABI (called std::ios_base::failure) and one using the new ABI (called std::ios_base::[abi:__cxx11]failure). You're trying to catch the new one, but the library throws the old one. I'm probably going to change the library to throw the new one for GCC 7.
