 Shared libraries are to be built using the C/C++ frontend, not ld directly.
 
 If your Makefile is changed from
 $(LD) -shared test.o $(LIBS) -o $(TARGET) -lstdc++
 to
 $(CXX) -shared test.o $(LIBS) -o $(TARGET) -lstdc++
 
 It appears to catch the exception just fine.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out.

Items required for sure fire disk cleaning methodology.

qty. 1 hard drive to clean
qty. 1 high velocity military rifle
I usually use a .223 round, but other parts of the world may prefer
.308(7.62x51) or 7.62x54.
qty. what number of rounds you feel like of previously described firearm



I just take an axe to the disk.
