Package: libunwind8 Version: 1.0.1-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hello, I work on porting libc++ - new implementation of C++ standard library, and libc++abi - ABI implementation for libc++. http://libcxx.llvm.org, http://libcxxabi.llvm.org.
This work is done in context of Google Summer of Code, and is managed by mentor Sylvestre Ledru. http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2012, http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2012/, http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2012/Projects#Provide_an_alternative_to_libstdc.2B-.2B-_with_libc.2B-.2B- http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2012/StudentApplications/AndrejBelym One of the aims of my project is avoid dependency of GCC C++ standard libraries - libstdc++ as STL, libsupc++ (now statically linked with libstdc++) - as ABI library, and libgcc_s - as unwinding library. They would be replaced with libc++, libc++abi, and libunwind respectively. But current libunwind-8 package doesn't have some features, that are required to complete unwind library replacing. libunwind must be configured with --enable-cxx-exception to be compiled with C++ exception unwind support and enabling unwind ABI for C++, that doesn't by default. Please, add flag --enable-cxx-exception to invoke of `configure`. I've created simple patch that does needed changes. Thank you.
