egcs-980214 eh bug report

[David C Binderman]

Hello there,

The following code compiles ok, but crashes at run time on machine
i486-pc-linux-gnulibc1

This code works ok on g++ 2.7.2.1 and egcs until 971225, but
for no versions of egcs this year.

I suspect the changes from 971225 to 980115.

#include <stdio.h>

struct E
{
    char * str;			
    E( char * s ) : str(s) {};
};

void
f()
{
    throw E( "Intentional Exception");
}

int
main() {
    try {
        f();
    }
    catch( E x ) {
	printf("caught exception '%s'\n", x.str);
	return 0;
    }
    return 1;
}

Regards
