1.4 +Exceptions library release 1.01.
1.5 +
1.6 +This source code is intended to be compliant with release 1.0 of the EHABI.
1.7 +
1.8 +The following defects against the previous (1.0) release have been fixed:
1.9 +
1.10 +1) The personality routines were checking handler table entry descriptor
1.11 +ranges using virtual r14 not virtual r15. Consequently if the entry contained
1.12 +two or more descriptors with matching ranges, and the first was a cleanup,
1.13 +subsequent descriptors would incorrectly fail the range check because the
1.14 +cleanup code legitimately corrupted r14 (and hence virtual r14; virtual r15
1.15 +is preserved).
1.16 +
1.17 +2) The runtime library would call abort() instead of terminate() under this
1.18 +sequence of events:
1.19 +i) The program installs an unexpected exception handler (set_unexpected(...)).
1.20 +ii) A throw of type T violates a function exception specification, causing
1.21 + unexpected() to be called and the user's handler to be entered.
1.22 +iii) The handler throws another exception of type T.
1.23 +
1.24 +3) Type matching when throwing a NULL pointer to pointer to T (any type T)
1.25 +could dereference down the "pointer" chain beginning at location 0 (=NULL),
1.26 +hence possibly accessing any location in memory.
