            Bug ID: 61637
           Summary: C++ program  does not catch exceptions on AIX 7.1
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: chandrakm at hotmail dot com

I have a C++ program compiled on AIX 7.1 using gcc 4.8.1 . This uses some
shared libs compiled on C language. 

None of the throws statements are caught. 

Is this a known defect or has anything to do with any gcc compiler options that
i am using.
