Summary: No cross-DLL exceptions in mingw32 compilers
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=489100
Summary: No cross-DLL exceptions in mingw32 compilers Product: Fedora EPEL Version: el5 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: high Priority: low Component: mingw32-gcc AssignedTo: rjones@redhat.com ReportedBy: wolfgang.glas@ev-i.at QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: lfarkas@lfarkas.org, berrange@redhat.com, rjones@redhat.com, fedora-mingw@lists.fedoraproject.org Classification: Fedora
Version 4.3.2-12 of EPEL's version of the moingw32 cross-compiler do not support cross-DLL exceptions.
I've attached the gcc bug report below. This make running a non-trivial C++ program impossible an renders the mingw32 toolchain unusable for real-world C++ programs.
The mingw-w64 toolchain has solved this problem by supplying a shared libgcc, hopefully the mingw32 toolchain will follow this approach in the near future.
Please keep on your tremendous work on providing the ming32 toolchain in the EPEL.
TIA,
Wolfgang
