Huh. If I'm reading the ABI spec correctly, we should terminate if the

I'll make it terminate like you've suggested then.
Let's leave it as you had it originally. I'm not sure if my reading of
the ABI is correct, so let's keep the behaviour consistent for now.
We can always revisit it later if we decide terminating is correct.
We don't seem to do that even without exception_ptr involved:
Yes, that's the reason current make_exception_ptr behaves as it does,
but to fix your test case below the code that generates code for 'throw'
will have to be fixed.
Right, and we wont' be changing that as part of this patch, so let's
stay consistent with that too.
#include <iostream>
#include <exception>
struct E {
E() {}
E(const E&) { throw 5; }
};
int main() {
static E e;
try {
throw e;
} catch(E& ep) {
std::cout << "E" << std::endl;
} catch (int& i) {
std::cout << "int" << std::endl;
}
}

I missed this comment. typeid() returns const std::type_info so I
either need to add const here or cast the const away from typeid()
return value.
Please use const_cast. std::type_info doesn't have any non-cosnt
member that would allow modifications through that pointer anyway.
Thanks.
