Package: gcc
Version: 2:2.95.4-8
Severity: normal
Hi
I've just discovered that compilation with i686 leads to some serious problems
of aborting my program (aviplay) instead of throwing exception which should
be trapped in try {} catch block
While compiling avifile (avifile.sf.net) with -O2 -march=i686
created aviplay binary will abort instead of catching exception
when opening .asf files (aviplay tries avi format first and throws
exception where it's not avi)
(the same happens also with current g++-3.0.2)
Here is short backtrace of program:
#0 0x407ee911 in kill () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1 0x405aec0e in pthread_kill () from /lib/libpthread.so.0

Here should be caught this exception from checkDword - but it's not!
While compiling with i586 there are no such problem.
That's what I do not understand.
Also interisting part is - it actually works well during the first pass
though this (as might be seen in the startup log of aviplay:
479.980000 MHz Celeron (Mendocino) processor detected
MediaReadHandler: FATAL: Not an AVI file!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Creating seek data, please wait...
Seek data created ( processed 1743 packets )
Another good way is to rename /usr/lib/win32 - so codecs could not be
found and this will again throw an exception.
