Question

I have following code (now compilable, thanks to @LokiAstari):

To compile the following piece of code, the simplest way is to download curlpp , compile it. Then compile the following code with g++-mp-4.4 (installed by macport), linking to curl and curlpp.

It would crash (output: abort trap) if localhost:8080 does not exist.
Change g++-mp-4.4 to g++ which the default one of Xcode 4, it works fine.

#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <iostream>

#include <curlpp/cURLpp.hpp>
#include <curlpp/Easy.hpp>
#include <curlpp/Options.hpp>

int main(int, char **)
{
    try
    {
        curlpp::Cleanup myCleanup;

        {
          std::ostringstream os;
          os << curlpp::options::Url("http://localhost:8080/");
        }

    }
    catch( curlpp::RuntimeError &e )
    {
        std::cout << e.what() << std::endl;
    }

    catch( curlpp::LogicError &e )
    {
        std::cout << e.what() << std::endl;
    }

  return 0;
}

Update:

in Easy.cpp:

void 
curlpp::Easy::perform()
{
    mCurl->perform(); // The exception come from here. mCurl is a std::auto_ptr<internal::CurlHandle> mCurl;
}

......

std::ostream & operator<<(std::ostream & stream, const curlpp::Easy & request)
{
  // Quick clone that doesn't copy options, only the curl handle.
  curlpp::Easy r(request.getCurlHandle().clone());
  r.setOpt(new curlpp::options::WriteStream(& stream));
  r.perform(); // The exception come from here.

  return stream;
}

in CurlHandle.cpp:

void CurlHandle::perform()
{
    CURLcode code;

    code = curl_easy_perform(mCurl);
    throwException();
    libcurlRuntimeAssert(mErrorBuffer, code); //if we got an error
}

in Exception.cpp:

void curlpp::libcurlRuntimeAssert(const std::string & reason, CURLcode code)
{
  curlpp::libcurlRuntimeAssert(reason.c_str(), code);
}

void curlpp::libcurlRuntimeAssert(const char * reason, CURLcode code)
{
  if (code != CURLE_OK)
    throw curlpp::LibcurlRuntimeError(reason, code);
}

I traced into the code, throw curlpp::LibcurlRuntimeError(reason, code);, the constructor of LibcurlRuntimeError is fine, then throw, then SIGABRT.

There are problems with various MacPorts GCC 4.x compilers and exception catching, see for example GCC bug 42159 and MacPorts bug 25042.
