Walter,

The 8.32 beta 15 does no longer crash when I tried the exception tests on my
Windows XP.  However, the results are not what expected.  The detailed is as
follows:

case 3a.  I have to press Ctrl-C to exit program.
case 3b-3f the memory still leaks.
case 4a-4f the memory still leaks.

These cases are the ones I sent you before.

Thanks,
Steve

A simple fix seems to be to use the same trick in core\vecnew.cpp
(__vec_delete and __vec_dtor) as core\except.cpp does when calling a
destructor (saving SP before calling the destructor and restoring it
afterwards):

               __asm mov spsave,sp
#if STDCALL
               _ECX = (long)Parray + Nelem * Sizelem;
               (*(dtor_t)Dtor)(DTORmostderived);
#else
               (*(dtor_t)Dtor)(DTORmostderived,(char *)Parray +
	                                       Nelem * Sizelem);
#endif
               __asm mov sp,spsave


And DMC doesn't pass a pointer to a destructor to __vec_new:

struct A
{
  A()
  { }
  ~A()
  { }
};


int main()
{
  new A[10];
}


generated code:
                push    0  <-- this should be the address of a destructor
                push    offset FLAT:??0A  QAE XZ
                push    0Ah
                push    1
                push    0
                call    near ptr ?__vec_new  YAPAXPAXIHP6CPAXXZP6CHXZ Z


And one more: core\except.cpp (line 1225 and line 1242) uses
_cppeh_sv.dtor_nest. Shouldn't that be
_getthreaddata()->t_cppeh_sv.dtor_nest if compiled with -D_MT and
_cppeh_sv.dtor_nest only in the single-threaded case?


bye, Christof
