Re: [Mingw-users] abnormal program termination

[Greg C. <chi...@mi...>]

The gdb manual says
  To make the debugger catch all exceptions before any stack unwinding
  takes place, set a breakpoint on __raise_exception
but that doesn't work for me. I compiled with g++ 2.95.2-1 with -ggdb3
and ran it through the gdb 5.0 from objectcentral.com . Perhaps mingw
uses win32 SEH to implement C++ exceptions?

Here's my testcase:

  #include <exception>

  int main()
  {
    exception e;
    throw e;
  }
