No, an unhandled exception results in abort() which always dumped core. That hasn't changed. The reason you can't catch it is that the library throws std::ios::failure but you try to catch std::__cxx11::ios::failure, due to the default ABI changing in F23. If you compile with -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 then you'll be able to refer to the old exception type, but that changes the ABI. The fact the old ABI exception is thrown is PR66145. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 66145 ***
