Ping! That's a one-line fix, and you can find all the details in the bugzilla entry. Also, I can provide executables built with the affected toolchains, demonstrating the problem and the fix.

Thanks,
Matteo


I was away last week. LH, care to comment? Changes look fine to me.

SEH _Unwind_Resume_or_Rethrow invokes abort directly if
_Unwind_RaiseException doesn't manage to find a handler for the rethrown
exception; this is incorrect, as in this case std::terminate should be
invoked, allowing an application-provided terminate handler to handle
the situation instead of straight crashing the application through
abort.

The bug can be demonstrated with this simple test case:
===
static void custom_terminate_handler() {
     fprintf(stderr, "custom_terminate_handler invoked\n");
     std::exit(1);
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
     std::set_terminate(&custom_terminate_handler);
     if (argc < 2) return 1;
     const char *mode = argv[1];
     fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", mode);
     if (strcmp(mode, "throw") == 0) {
         throw std::exception();
     } else if (strcmp(mode, "rethrow") == 0) {
         try {
             throw std::exception();
         } catch (...) {
             throw;
         }
     } else {
         return 1;
     }
     return 0;
}
===

On all gcc builds with non-SEH exceptions, this will print
"custom_terminate_handler invoked" both if launched as ./a.out throw or
as ./a.out rethrow, on SEH builds instead if will work as expected only
with ./a.exe throw, but will crash with the "built-in" abort message
with ./a.exe rethrow.

This patch fixes the problem, forwarding back the error code to the
caller (__cxa_rethrow), that calls std::terminate if
_Unwind_Resume_or_Rethrow returns.

The change makes the code path coherent with SEH _Unwind_RaiseException,
and with the generic _Unwind_Resume_or_Rethrow from libgcc/unwind.inc
(used for SjLj and Dw2 exception backend).

libgcc/ChangeLog:

         * unwind-seh.c (_Unwind_Resume_or_Rethrow): forward
         _Unwind_RaiseException return code back to caller instead of
         calling abort, allowing __cxa_rethrow to invoke std::terminate
         in case of uncaught rethrown exception
