[LLVMdev] exception handling broken on x86-64?

Hello, Thomas

Catching is done by gcc unwinding runtime. Which is, in your case
(--disable-shared), compiled by llvm and thus is definitely broken. What
if you link the llvm-generated .S file with native g++ ?

Well, it's "expected, because unimplemented" :). The contents of
".eh_frame" section (aka EH common frame information) is among the
missed stuff, I talked about.
