Description

I'm working on a problem with tests/stdlib/string/io.cpp, it is seg faulting at exception.cpp. I noticed when I used gdb64 to debug it, it would call "throw (__rw_failure&)" twice in the __rw_throw_exception function. Can this be the cause of seg fault? When it calls throw twice?

Looking at other failed stdlib test causes me to think .__cxa_get_globals_fast () in libsupc++ is the most likely cause of segmentation faults in those test. (See gdb64 outputs)

affected tests so far:

tests/stdlib/containers/bitset_io
tests/stdlib/containers/vector_modifiers
tests/stdlib/iostream/istream_manip
tests/stdlib/string/io

This seems to be caused by the linked issue.

[Martin Sebor]

Updated Summary, set Severity and time Estimate.
Scheduled for 4.3 (if we get the platform set up).

[Eric Lemings]

I think this issue has more to do with existing containers than TR1 containers.
