Upgrading to G++ 4.8 - exception_ptr.h Does not support exception propagation

Question

I\'m trying to recompile a huge legacy app with g++ 4.8 in order debug a glibc detected memory corruption problem (using AddressSanitizer). Previously we used g++

I was able to reproduce your issue using dockerized Centos6, with gcc 4.8.2. After upgrading dev tools to version 6 (gcc 6.3.1), your code compiled without any problem. Try upgrading dev tools using these steps (suggested for testing only):

• add sclo centos6 repository via adding file /etc/yum.repos.d/devtools-sclo.repo :

  [testing-devtools]
  name=devtools multiple for CentOS 
  baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/sclo/x86_64/rh/
  gpgcheck=0
  

• install devtoolset-6 packages:

  yum install devtoolset-6-binutils devtoolset-6-gcc-c++

• set bash environment to new version:

  scl enable devtoolset-6 bash

Now try recompiling your base example and full source.

NOTE: This same repository contains packages for devtoolset-3 and devtoolset-4 also. Very easy to try if ever needed.
