I'm using g++ (GCC) version 3.4.4 from the cygwin installer, and
I've run in to
this very confusing problem. I'm compiling with the -mno-cygwin option
[...]
The problem I have is that when I launch a separate thread, and then
throw an
exception in that separate thread, my program will crash... even if I catch
that exception.
Are you compiling with '-mthreads'?
I was not, in fact. Of course the first results in Google for "MinGW
'-mthreads'" is: "always use -mthreads when using threads under MinGW. I just
spent hours using gdb instead of -mthreads." I will give that a try and report
back to the list for the benefit of posterity.
