Oops, private repo :D Here a copy: http://pastebin.com/k4dLndkw

Now is Ok. I'll try to aply this patch for v3.

As I can see this patch is already in the v3 branch: https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mingw-w64/ci/v3.x/tree/mingw-w64-crt/misc/mingw_getsp.S

Oh that is odd. Is this patch part of v3.3.0 release or later? Which exact version of mingw-w64 does mingw-builds use when setting --rt-version=v3 ?

Which exact version of mingw-w64 does mingw-builds use when setting --rt-version=v3 ?

v3.x branch: https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mingw-w64/ci/v3.x/tree/
for --rt-version=v4 v4.x branch is used: https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mingw-w64/ci/v4.x/tree/

from mingw-builds.

Oh okay so it changes. I should probably write down which commit of v3.x was used when building then, in case I want to reproduce the exact same tool chain later.

Closed.

We just built our software using --rt-version=v3 but it still seems to suffer from the sjlj bug. Are you sure that the mingw-builds scripts use the latest trunk of v3? Or does it use the latest stable (i.e. v3.3.0 which still has the bug)?

from mingw-builds.

If you specify --rt-version=v3 then the script will checkout v3 and use that. However, if the mingw-w64 folder already exists in the src directory, then the checkout does not occur, and the script uses whichever version you currently have checked out. There is also the argument --update-sources that is supposed to force an update to the latest version for anything that uses git or svn as the source. That should include the mingw64 runtime.

As a side note, in order to use a specific release, you have to specify the full release (i.e. --rt-version=v3.3.0). In that case, the script will download the tar.bz2 file for that release and use it instead. Unfortunately, it looks like 3.3.0 is the latest release of the v3 line, so there doesn't appear to be a release available that contains the fix you need.

Thanks. This confirms my fear that the sjlj bug we are experiencing has not properly been fixed yet in mingw-w64 :(
