On multiprocessor Solaris Sparc machines, if multiple threads are concurrently throwing exceptions, and another thread is calling exit() or returning from main(), there are messages such as:
terminate called recursively terminate called after throwing an instance of ' And sometimes core is dumped with an abort signal. I have been able to reproduce this on a number of different gcc versions (4.2.0, 4.1.2, 2.95.2). You can find the code I use to reproduce it at: http://www.csug.rochester.edu/users/ugrads/asveikau/exception_bug.cc Note that running it once without incident does not mean the system is unaffected by the bug; keep running it until it dumps core. The code runs file on: SunPRO C++ on the affected systems, gcc 4.1.1 on i386 linux, and gcc 3.2.3 on i386 linux. This is why I concluded that the issue is specific to either gcc on Solaris or gcc on Sparc. Since it works fine on Sun's compiler, I don't think it is Solaris's fault. I don't have access to sparc linux or x86 solaris, so I couldn't narrow it down beyond that. -- Summary: Exception handling crash on multi-threaded Solaris/Sparc Product: gcc Version: 4.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: a dot l dot sveikauskas at gmail dot com GCC build triplet: sparc-sun-solaris2.10, sparc-sun-solaris2.9, sparc-sun- solaris2.
