Re: Mysterious crash in NSRunLoop, using libobjc2 on Linux

Hey David-

I created three files: a .mm file that contains main(), a .mm that throws an 
ObjC exception, and a .m that passes the ObjC exception through from a @finally 
block back to the .mm file that contains main.  I think I'm getting closer, 
because my debug output now has several "Fight!" clauses (see below) but all 
the personality classes are of type GNUCOBJC.  I haven't been able to coax it 
to emit GNUCC++.

I've attached the three files, which I compile into separate .o files and then 
link (compile/link command is also attached).

Do you have any other ideas for how I can get an exception of "Class: GNUCC++" 
to appear, instead of just GNUCOBJC?

Thank you,

David
