Re: The sound of exceptions whooshing by....

OK, now I am really confused. I stripped it down to the absolute bare
essence:

#include <iostream>

int err = 42;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

    try
    {

        std::cerr << __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ << " Test build " << __DATE__ <<
" " << __TIME__ << " test throw of int" << std::endl;
        throw err;

    }
    catch (const int &x)
    {
        std::cerr << __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ << " caught probe " << x <<
std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}


If I test this with my native GCC, it works:

g++ -o test_probe main.cpp ; ./test_probe
int main(int, char**) Test build Jan 31 2012 09:50:09 test throw of int
int main(int, char**) caught probe 42

If I build this for the ARM it fails:

arm-linux-gnueabi-g++ -o testprobe.arm main.cpp; scp testprobe.arm
root@10.200.120.239:/tmp; ssh root@10.200.120.239 /tmp/testprobe.arm
testprobe.arm
int main(int, char**) Test build Jan 31 2012 09:51:48 test throw of int
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'int'

I am now officially confused....
