Terminate called after throwing an instance of...

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi All,

I'm seeing the following on a negative test case:

    terminate called after throwing an instance of
    'esapi::NoSuchAlgorithmException'
      what():  Algorithm 'Foo' is not supported

Any ideas on what might cause the exception to pass uncaught? I am
familiar with http://gcc.gnu.org/faq.html#dso.

$ nm -D --extern-only --defined-only lib/libesapi-c++.so | grep -i
NoSuchAlgorithmException
00091ec2 W _ZN5esapi24NoSuchAlgorithmExceptionC1ERKSs
00091ec2 W _ZN5esapi24NoSuchAlgorithmExceptionC2ERKSs
00091f4a W _ZN5esapi24NoSuchAlgorithmExceptionD0Ev
00091f02 W _ZN5esapi24NoSuchAlgorithmExceptionD1Ev

001a0b60 V _ZTSN5esapi24NoSuchAlgorithmExceptionE
0023c250 V _ZTVN5esapi24NoSuchAlgorithmExceptionE

The test case definitely tries to catch it (and it works on Windows):

$ gdb test/run_esapi_tests
(gdb) r
...
(gdb) where
...
#10 0x0806804d in VerifyMessageDigestArguments::test_method (this=0xbfffe5af)
    at test/crypto/MessageDigestTest.cpp:59
...

$ cat MessageDigestTest.cpp

  #include "errors/NoSuchAlgorithmException.h"
  using esapi::NoSuchAlgorithmException;
  ...

  try
    {
      MessageDigest md1("Foo"); <== Line 59
    }
  catch(NoSuchAlgorithmException&)
    {
      success = true;
    }
  catch (std::exception&)
    {
      cerr << "!!Caught exception" << endl;
    }
  catch(...)
    {
      cerr << "!!Caught unknown exception" << endl;
    }
