Bug #: 55320 Summary: Invalid delete with throwing copy-c'tor passed to std::function Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.2 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libstdc++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: benjamin.kirc...@gmail.com Created attachment 28682 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=28682 Example program The example program attached compiles w/o warnings and crashes with an invalid delete when executed. $ gcc --version gcc (Debian 4.7.2-4) 4.7.2 $ cat main.cpp #include <functional> #include <stdexcept> #include <iostream> #include <ostream> struct functor { functor() = default; functor(const functor&) { throw std::exception(); } void operator()() {} }; int main() try { std::function<void()> func = functor(); return 0; } catch (std::exception&) { std::cout << "catched" << std::endl; } Valgrind gives me $ valgrind --tool=memcheck ./a.out <snip> ==...== Invalid free() / delete / delete[] / realloc() ==...== at 0x...: operator delete(void*) (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-x86-linux.so) ==...== by 0x...: std::_Function_base::_Base_manager<functor>::_M_destroy(std::_Any_data&, std::integral_constant<bool, false>) (functional:1780) ==...== by 0x...: std::_Function_base::_Base_manager<functor>::_M_manager(std::_Any_data&, std::_Any_data const&, std::_Manager_operation) (functional:1804) ==...== by 0x...: std::_Function_base::~_Function_base() (functional:1885) ==...== by 0x...: std::function<void ()>::function<functor>(functor, std::enable_if<!(std::is_integral<functor>::value), std::function<void ()>::_Useless>::type) (functional:2292) <snip> On clang/libc++ this behaves as expected.
