By default an exception can only occur during a function call or a throw. If we needs to catch excpetions thrown from trapping instructions, using the `-fnon-call-exceptions`.
Docs:
-fnon-call-exceptions Generate code that allows trapping instructions to throw exceptions. Note that this requires platform-specific runtime support that does not exist everywhere. Moreover, it only allows trapping instructions to throw exceptions, i.e. memory references or floating point instructions. It does not allow exceptions to be thrown from arbitrary signal handlers such as SIGALRM.
Example:
#include <iostream> #include <signal.h> using namespace std; static void sigsegv_handler (int signo) { throw 0; } int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { int *ptr = nullptr; int res; signal (SIGSEGV, sigsegv_handler); try { res = *ptr; } catch (...) { cout << "exception" << endl; } return res; } |
g++ -fnon-call-exceptions -o sig sig.cpp |
