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

[<OM...@th...>]

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

There's you're problem.  gcc 2.96 is not a real version of gcc and red-hat
should never have released it with their distribution.  See this
announcement for more information on this
(http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html).  We know that this version has trouble
handling exceptions and will not work with QuickFIX.  I would recommend
going either to one of the 2.95.x versions, or to the latest stable 3.x.x
version.

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?
