终止处理程序可以抛出异常吗?

以下程序的定义行为是什么?

#include <iostream>
#include <exception>
#include <cstdlib>

void i_throw()
{
    std::cout << "i_throw()" << std::endl;
    // std::terminate() is noexcept so if the terminate handler throws...
    // then the terminate handler is called...
    // std::terminate is [[noreturn]] so don't return
    try
    {
        throw 7;
    }
    catch(...)
    {
        std::cout << "caught exception, re-throw()-ing" << std::endl;
        throw;
    }
    std::cout << "got here!" << std::endl;
    std::abort();
}

int main()
{
    std::set_terminate(i_throw);
    throw;
    std::terminate();
}

使用gcc和clang我得到以下输出:

i_throw()
caught exception, re-throw()-ing
Aborted (core dumped)

在前几条评论后编辑的示例。

(我不知道为什么我同时拥有throw;std::terminate();。我不想改变这个例子,所以只假装其中只有一个在那里。)

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:2)

上述问题可以归结为理解以下两个代码段的行为。

示例1:抛出没有活动异常

int main()
{
    try{
        throw;
    }catch(...){
        std::cout<<"caught"<<endl;  //we never reach here
    }
    return 0;
}

如果您运行上面的代码,它将崩溃如下

terminate called without an active exception
Aborted (core dumped)

示例2:抛出活动异常

int main()
{
    try{
        throw 7;
    }catch(...){
        std::cout<<"caught"<<endl;  //will be caught
    }
    return 0;
}

运行它可以提供可预测的输出

caught

如果生成代码的程序集(g++ -S option)。你会注意到以下cxx_abi调用throw vs throw 7

throw;转换为call __cxa_rethrow

throw 7;转换为call __cxa_throw

以下是__cxa_throw

的代码
extern "C" void
__cxxabiv1::__cxa_throw (void *obj, std::type_info *tinfo,
             void (_GLIBCXX_CDTOR_CALLABI *dest) (void *))
{
  PROBE2 (throw, obj, tinfo);

  __cxa_eh_globals *globals = __cxa_get_globals ();
  globals->uncaughtExceptions += 1;

  // code removed for brevity 
  //.......
  // Below code throws an exception to be caught by caller

  #ifdef _GLIBCXX_SJLJ_EXCEPTIONS
    _Unwind_SjLj_RaiseException (&header->exc.unwindHeader);
  #else
    _Unwind_RaiseException (&header->exc.unwindHeader);
  #endif

  // Some sort of unwinding error.  Note that terminate is a handler.
  __cxa_begin_catch (&header->exc.unwindHeader);
  std::terminate ();
}

因此,在OP代码中throw 7;会被相应的catch(...)捕获,并会被throw;

重新抛出

以下是__cxa__rethrow

的代码
extern "C" void
__cxxabiv1::__cxa_rethrow ()
{
  __cxa_eh_globals *globals = __cxa_get_globals ();
  __cxa_exception *header = globals->caughtExceptions; // We are not re

  globals->uncaughtExceptions += 1;

  // Watch for luser rethrowing with no active exception.
  if (header)
    {
      // Code removed for brevity
      // .....
      // Below code rethrows the exception
      #ifdef _GLIBCXX_SJLJ_EXCEPTIONS
      _Unwind_SjLj_Resume_or_Rethrow (&header->unwindHeader);
      #else
      #if defined(_LIBUNWIND_STD_ABI)
      _Unwind_RaiseException (&header->unwindHeader);
      #else
      _Unwind_Resume_or_Rethrow (&header->unwindHeader);
      #endif
      #endif
    }
  std::terminate ();
}

在这两种情况下,我们都可以看到std::terminate()尚未调用__cxx_*。在被上面的abi抛出后,我们在代码中的以下位置。

请参阅cxx_abi以终止代码。

void
__cxxabiv1::__terminate (std::terminate_handler handler) throw ()
{
  __try 
    {
      handler ();      // Our handler has thrown an int exception
      std::abort ();
    } 
  __catch(...)  // Exception is caught here and process is aborted.
    { std::abort (); } 
}

void
std::terminate () throw()
{
  __terminate (get_terminate ());
}

<强>摘要

根据我的理解,从处理程序重新抛出异常会导致在__cxxabiv1::__terminate中捕获重新抛出的异常。它呼叫abort()的地方。显然,std::terminate() [来自__cxa_rethrow]方法没有出现在图片中,这就是控件从未到达的原因std::cout << "got here!" << std::endl;

无限递归

如果我们将terminate_handler更改为以下内容会发生什么:

void i_throw()
{
    std::cout << "i_throw()" << std::endl;
    throw;
    std::cout << "got here!" << std::endl;
    std::abort();
}

要理解这一点,我们可以查看上面提到的__cxa_rethrow()

因为,没有抛出的活动异常,__cxa_rethrow()将最终调用std::terminate(),从而导致无限递归。
