Re: [Tinycc-devel] crash when function that is called from tcc compiled dynamic library, throws exception

[Tigran Grigoryan]

Thank you for your explanation.
Seems that the issue is that tcc generated binaries lack ".eh_frame", ".eh_frame_hdr" sections.

Thanks,

Tigran

A crash isn't good behavior anyway. There's the risk that it's a memory
error leading to a security vulnerability - and compiling source code
can be a real attack vector.
