From 16774daa597f7633ae2f64efef20cad744b877b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matteo Italia Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2024 12:51:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] libgcc: fix SEH C++ rethrow semantics [PR113337] SEH _Unwind_Resume_or_Rethrow invokes abort directly if _Unwind_RaiseException doesn't manage to find a handler for the rethrown exception; this is incorrect, as in this case std::terminate should be invoked, allowing an application-provided terminate handler to handle the situation instead of straight crashing the application through abort. The bug can be demonstrated with this simple test case: === static void custom_terminate_handler() { fprintf(stderr, "custom_terminate_handler invoked\n"); std::exit(1); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { std::set_terminate(&custom_terminate_handler); if (argc < 2) return 1; const char *mode = argv[1]; fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", mode); if (strcmp(mode, "throw") == 0) { throw std::exception(); } else if (strcmp(mode, "rethrow") == 0) { try { throw std::exception(); } catch (...) { throw; } } else { return 1; } return 0; } === On all gcc builds with non-SEH exceptions, this will print "custom_terminate_handler invoked" both if launched as ./a.out throw or as ./a.out rethrow, on SEH builds instead if will work as expected only with ./a.exe throw, but will crash with the "built-in" abort message with ./a.exe rethrow. This patch fixes the problem, forwarding back the error code to the caller (__cxa_rethrow), that calls std::terminate if _Unwind_Resume_or_Rethrow returns. The change makes the code path coherent with SEH _Unwind_RaiseException, and with the generic _Unwind_Resume_or_Rethrow from libgcc/unwind.inc (used for SjLj and Dw2 exception backend). libgcc/ChangeLog: PR libgcc/113337 * unwind-seh.c (_Unwind_Resume_or_Rethrow): forward _Unwind_RaiseException return code back to caller instead of calling abort, allowing __cxa_rethrow to invoke std::terminate in case of uncaught rethrown exception --- libgcc/unwind-seh.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/libgcc/unwind-seh.c b/libgcc/unwind-seh.c index 8ef0257b616..f1b8f5a8519 100644 --- a/libgcc/unwind-seh.c +++ b/libgcc/unwind-seh.c @@ -395,9 +395,9 @@ _Unwind_Reason_Code _Unwind_Resume_or_Rethrow (struct _Unwind_Exception *exc) { if (exc->private_[0] == 0) - _Unwind_RaiseException (exc); - else - _Unwind_ForcedUnwind_Phase2 (exc); + return _Unwind_RaiseException (exc); + + _Unwind_ForcedUnwind_Phase2 (exc); abort (); }
