[Quickfix-developers] unit test seg faults on RH Linux 7.2

[Michael S. <mse...@ba...>]

Hi -

I'm using x86 Red Hat Linux 7.2, gcc 2.96

I've built quickfix (./bootstrap, ./configure, make, make install),
and I'm running the unit tests from the test directory, using : 

$ ./runut 9900

The FieldConvertorsTestCase unit test seg faults.

I pretty sure it's related to exceptions, in that I've tracked
it down to being in FieldConvertors.h, line 112:

  if ( value > 255 || value < 0 ) throw FieldConvertError();

The test below is calling the CheckSumConvertor::convert( long value)
method which throws FieldConvertError() on the range check, which
is when I get the seg fault.

void FieldConvertorsTestCase::checkSumConvertTo::onRun( void*& )
{
  . . . 

  try{ CheckSumConvertor::convert( -1 ); assert( false ); }  
  catch ( FieldConvertError& ) {}
 
} 

The -fexceptions is being used for compiles. I'm not sure what
else to look at here.  Any suggestions?
