[Cppunit-devel] Partial answer: 2.3) Why does the test ExceptionTest.testAssignment failed in CppUnit test

[Phil T. <phi...@ts...>]

The implementation of the assignment operator for std::exception in
MSVCRT seems to be cause of the problem. Comment out the
SuperClass::operator= (other) call in Exception::operator=(Exception&)
and the test now passes.

Examination of MSVCRT disassembly yields some odd-looking (shortcut?)
behavior. It looks as though exception::operator=(exception&) resets
itself by calling its own destructor (memory is not freed) then calls
exception(exception&) to complete the assignment.

I can't progress the problem any further at this time but the
information above may be of some assistance.

Phil
