Bug ID: 103711 Summary: Virtual base destroyed twice when an exception is thrown in a derived class' constructor called from a delegated constructor Product: gcc Version: 11.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: pierre.mantion at cern dot ch Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 52000 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=52000&action=edit preprocessed file that triggers the bug Virtual base destroyed twice when an exception is thrown in a derived class' constructor called from a delegated constructor: The code below causes A’s destructor to be called twice on the same object. This is the most I could reduce the code to have it trigger the bug. #include <iostream> int constructions = 0; int destructions = 0; struct A { A() { constructions++; } virtual ~A() { destructions++; } }; struct B : public virtual A { B(int) { }; B() : B(1) { throw -1; } virtual ~B() = default; }; struct C : public B { }; int main() { try { C c; } catch (int e) { std::cout << "Caught: " << e << std::endl; } std::cout << constructions << " constructions" << std::endl; std::cout << destructions << " destructions" << std::endl; return 0; } Expected output: Caught: -1 1 constructions 1 destructions Actual output: Caught: -1 1 constructions 2 destructions This seems to be a combination of the “virtual” inheritance in B, the call to the delegating constructor in B, and the exception thrown in B’s no arg constructor. Removing either of these makes the program behave as expected. Constructing a B instead of a C works fine. GCC latest version and ICC latest version have the same issue, but clang latest version doesn’t. Tested on Godbolt: - Works/behaves as expected with Clang 13 (https://godbolt.org/z/4Yr5hWW5c) - fails with GCC 11.2 (https://godbolt.org/z/cr8bz4hMc) - fails with MSVC 19.29 (https://godbolt.org/z/b3Pd5PEfe) - fails with ICC 2021.3.0 (https://godbolt.org/z/caM41fjao) - (other compilers not tested yet). The problematic behavior was reproduced locally with version of GCC: % gcc -v Using built-in specs.
