>Description:
Exception handling seems to fail, when throwing an exception the application stops (abort function is called).
Looking into the generated assembly, the exception handling part does not seem to find the catch part.
Enabling or disabling the compiler optimalisation (-O2 option) does not have any impact.
Enabling of disabling the '-fexceptions' option does not have any impact.
