Gustavo Serra Scalet added the comment: -fexceptions documentation: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Code-Gen-Options.html#index-fexceptions
Highlight to: "you may need to enable this option when compiling C code that needs to interoperate properly with exception handlers written in C++" And this issue was detected when cpython is used like the following: .---------------------. | A C++ code | <= Designed to be the catcher :---------------------: | cpython | <= Should only pass exception up :---------------------: | called C++ function | <= Raises a C++ exception '---------------------' This is already working for X64, but not on PPC64LE (and possibly ARM64 and other architectures as well). For some reason the C++ unwinder can unwind C frames without special unwind information on X64. Maybe it can assume frame information on this architectures and it succeeds, but that's just pure luck in my opinion. ps: this patch is not v2.7 specific. It should be applied globally to other versions as well. It was merely reported to v2.7 as it was the python version that our c++ library was using. Maybe it'll be easier to backport this patch to other versions once it's in. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30910> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
