digitalmars.D - Illegal instruction (code dumped) for any uncaught exception

reply zhade <notexisting email.com> writes:
After a distro update (openSuse) every uncaught exception causes 
an illegal instruction error. After some searching I couldn't 
find anyone else having this problem. So I assume this is only 
happening on my machine. But I have no idea what could be the 
cause? Faulty packages in my distribution?

```d
void main()
{
     assert(false);
}
```

Results in:
```
ore.exception.AssertError source/app.d(4): Assertion failure
----------------Illegal instruction (core dumped)
```

Same for any other exception:
```d
void main()
{
     throw new Exception("Error");
}
```
I am not using any flags. Just running `dub build`. Compiling 
with `dmd -debug source/app.d` results in the same error.

My distro updated ldc2 Version 1.24.0 to 1.26.0.
Which also updated druntime and phobos from 2.094.1 to 2.096.1.
The same error occurs when using dmd version 2.096.1.

GDB backtrace (same for dmd):

I've heard of trouble with exactly the same (gdb) backtrace from 
people using latest Arch Linux. Druntime v2.095 got support for 
DWARF v5, introducing this `readEntryFormat()` function with a 
couple of `assert(0)`, almost certainly causing the illegal 
instruction. The initial suspicion was that the switch to gcc 11 
(with DWARF emission changes) might be causing this; possibly in 
the few C files compiled into druntime and Phobos.

The druntime PR adding these assert(0) was: 
https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/3189

Thank you, now I know that it isn't just my machine. So I guess 
I'll have to wait for the new dwarf format to be fully supported, 
rollback my packages or manually compile druntime with an earlier 
gcc. I'll see if I can find time to try it out.
