4.7.2: not catching exceptions on Solaris 64bit?

[Carsten Aulbert <gcc-help at miyameca dot de>]

Hi

a colleague of mine found something werid on Solaris 10 with a recent
gcc instaleld via blastwave:

g++ -v

Thread model: posix

the test case

$ cat test.cpp
#include <cstdlib>
#include <stdexcept>

int
main(int, char**)
{
  try {
    throw std::runtime_error("Some error");
  }
  catch(const std::exception &e )
    {
      exit( 0 );
    }
  exit( 1 );
}

works as expected on 32bit builds:

$ g++ -m32 test.cpp && ./a.out ; echo $?
0

$ ldd ./a.out
        libstdc++.so.6 =>        /opt/csw/lib/libstdc++.so.6
        libm.so.2 =>     /lib/libm.so.2
        libgcc_s.so.1 =>         /opt/csw/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1

however, the 64bit build does not catch the exception:

$ g++ -m64 test.cpp && ./a.out ; echo $?
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
terminate called recursively
Abort (core dumped)
134

$ ldd ./a.out
        libstdc++.so.6 =>        /opt/csw/lib/64/libstdc++.so.6
        libm.so.2 =>     /lib/64/libm.so.2
        libgcc_s.so.1 =>         /opt/csw/lib/64/libgcc_s.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /lib/64/libc.so.1

Is this expected? (I'm more admin than programmer and C++ is not really
my area of expertise)

Any pointer/help is appreciated where to find on this topic.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Cheers

Carsten
