RHBA-2012:0527 - gcc bug fix update

Synopsis

gcc bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated gcc packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The gcc packages provide compilers for C, C++, Java, Fortran, Objective C, and Ada 95 GNU, as well as related support libraries.

This update fixes the following bug:

GCC did not, under rare circumstances, handle exceptions properly when GCC 4.1 libstdc++ was used with GCC 4.4 or later C++11 code. This update improves exception handling so that GCC now processes exceptions as expected when using GCC 4.4 or later to compile code written in C++11. (BZ#806394)

Users of gcc are advised to upgrade to these updated packages only if they are encountering functionality problems related to C++11 exception handling.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
