- Don't try to detect libc++abi. It doesn't actually work, so don't
try it.
- Correctly try to link the standard library.
This should fix the build on GNU/Linux systems with libc++abi.so
installed (including our Ubuntu CI!).
libsupc++ is more aggressive about internal consistency checks than
libcxxrt, so we need to be more careful in the interop. The tests from
PR #138 now pass for me on Debian with libsupc++.
* Make sure the unwind state is synchronised between the Objective-C
and C++ exception objects.
* Reintroduce the is-pointer callback so that `__cxa_begin_catch`
adjusts the pointer correctly. Objective-C++ code uses
`__cxa_begin_catch` without the `objc_begin_catch` wrapper and the
runtime does not call the `__do_catch` method on the type info if the
type info is an exact match, so the caught object ended up being a
pointer to the object. This also meant that we needed to remove the
double dereference in the `__do_catch` methods.
* Introduce a subclass of `std::type_info` for all Objective-C types
and move the `virtual` functions there. This should simplify
supporting libc++abi.
We now, the first time we encounter a foreign exception, throw a C++
exception through a frame that has a custom personality function and
probe the layout of the __cxa_exception structure.
We then use the offsets learned from this along with the public ABI
functions for allocating the structure.
At the same time, add a test that we are correctly setting the count of
uncaught exceptions.
Fixes#146
On Itanium C++ ABI platforms, there are a lot of different variations
that have subtly different structure layouts. This commit adds a
run-time test that throws a C++ exception through a function that has
its personality function replaced with a wrapper so that we can inspect
a C++ exception in controlled conditions.
Initially, this just detects the exception type value used for C++
exceptions.
When passing -T to ask CTest to generate XML output, CTest complains
about a missing TCL file. This causes the build steps to fail. To
avoid that, make sure the ctest invocation is the last line in the
script so that its error status will be reported.
The reworked wrapping of C++ exceptions meant that we were missing a
dereference of the result of __cxa_begin_catch.
Add a test that triggers this issue. It would have occurred in the
non-ARC version if we actually did anything with the exception, but
compiling it in ARC mode makes the compiler insert retain / autorelease
around the exception object to ensure that it remains live.
We need to #include <exception> for this to work, but this brings in the
public definition of `std::type_info` and, unfortunately, that breaks
the private definition that we need in this compilation unit.
Recent versions of libstdc++ appear to have lost the clean layering
between libstdc++ and libsupc++, so use the high-level APIs and some
pointer evilness to fudge the low-level ones...
