Poco on Android causing segfaults when exceptions are used.

[klk]

Hi all,

I'm porting a C++ app to Android and am noticing issues with exceptions when I have Poco library linked to my program.

Here's a simple test program I am using to demonstrate this behavior: http://pastebin.com/pQyeYMrg

When I use Android NDK and compile it normally (with the Poco include and exception code commented out), it runs fine. The std::exception is thrown and caught normally. Here is how I compile it:

Code: Select all

./android-toolchain-ndk-r7/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++ -Wall -g -O0 -rdynamic -march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=neon -DANDROID -Xlinker --fix-cortex-a8 -frtti -fexceptions -I./sysroot/usr/include - -L./sysroot/usr/lib test_exceptions.cpp -o test_exceptions -lsupc++ -lgnustl_shared


However, when I uncomment the Poco usage and add -lPocoFoundation, I get a segfault when trying to catch the std::exception (the Poco exception works fine). Here is the backtrace.

Code: Select all

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

It looks like Poco's library is handling the exception, by overriding the __cxa_throw function? I'm not sure how to prevent this from occurring .

Thanks!

The output you supplied is obviously not from the simple pastebin example. It would be easier to understand what's going on if you posted output from the simple example.
