[cfe-dev] terminate called, but shouldn't be

[Paul J. Lucas]

Given this program:

> #include <stdexcept>
> #include <iostream>
> 
> using namespace std;
> 
> int main() {
>   try {
>     throw std::runtime_error( "whoops!" );
>   }
>   catch ( std::exception const &e ) {
>     cout << e.what() << endl;
>   }
>   return 0;
> }

and compiled with g++ under cygwin, I get only the output "whoops!" as expected.  When compiled with clang++ 3.0 under MinGW, I get:

> terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
>   what():  whoops!
> 
> This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
> Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Why?  terminate should NOT be called since the exception is caught.
