在basic_string中查找STL :: Exception的来源

Question

I am trying to track the source of a std::exception, in basic_string::erase, I wrapped all the locations where I am calling erase directly in try/catch and am not seeing any of these catch blocks be hit, so it must be being called internally from another basic_string method. The exception appears to be the result of a race condition in the code i am working with, so it is very difficult to reproduce, any thoughts on how I could detect and or get a stack trace from this exception? btw this is c++ code on an x86 linux box.

Thank you

You should try

(gdb) catch throw

Then gdb will trigger breakpoint each time exception is thrown. You'll see a callstack.

EDIT: This post is a good bunch of tricks for debugging exceptions: GDB: How to break when a specific exception type is thrown?
