[llvm-dev] Possible stack corruption during call to JITSymbol::getAddress()

Hi David,

Sorry to hear. Has anyone followed up with you yet?

I've continued to dig in to this in my spare time and I've found the issue.
It's a use-after-free, rather than any sort of memory smashing. ORC is
currently failing to deregister the EH-frame section when the JIT is torn
down (but *is* deallocating the memory for it). Normally that's not
disastrous (though it does leave bogus EH frames in memory), but in your
case the thrown exception tears down the JIT itself, so the unwinder ends
up reading eh-frames that have been deallocated. I'm working on a fix to
have the JIT properly deregister EH frames, but one workaround for now
would be to make sure you catch the exception before it causes the JIT
stack to be destructed.

Cheers,
Lang.
