Exception handling broken on SPARC

Reported by:	larsivi	Assigned to:	sean (accepted)
Priority:	major	Milestone:	1.0
Component:	Core Functionality	Version:	0.99.4 Frank
Keywords:	gdc linux sparc exceptions triage	Cc:

Description

Whether the exception is (should be) caught or not, the application prints "Aborted."

I suspect there is a fair chance for GDC being at fault.

I guess that GDC (may be possible to handle via Tango) need gcc/unwind-sparc.d aka unwind-arm.d - but there doesn't seem to be any system installed unwind*.h on the SPARC - would GCC source be the place to look for it?

02/16/08 11:05:00 changed by larsivi

On Debian SPARC linux with gcc installed, the relevant file should be found at

/usr/lib/gcc/sparc-linux-gnu/4.1.3/include/unwind.h

milestone changed from 0.99.6 to 0.99.7.

keywords changed from gdc linux sparc exceptions to gdc linux sparc exceptions triage.

triage here means that I believe that work needs to be done elsewhere, ie adding sparc exception handling to GDC, and then this will be magically fixed.

Do anyone know if exception handling can be added via the Tango runtime? Or must GDC itself be patched?

status changed from new to assigned.

Good question. This definitely needs to be fixed so it's really just a matter of where. I'll look into it.
