Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 127252
All of AOO doesn't handle C++ exceptions properly, making Clang unusable
Last modified: 2020-03-29 10:09:43 UTC
A lot of C++ code in AOO doesn't follow the C++ specifications when handling exceptions, for example exceptions are thrown without being declared in the function's prototype, which SHOULD result in a call to unexpected() and termination of the application. AOO however hides this fact using the -fno-enforce-eh-specs flag to GCC on Linux (see main/solenv/gbuild/platform/linux.mk), and something similar on Windows, so those platforms and compilers don't end up in unexpected() and there is no crash. Clang, used on at least MacOS and FreeBSD, doesn't support that flag, so they will crash in cases where Windows and Linux don't, making those platforms DANGEROUSLY UNSTABLE!!! See bug 125868 and its fix in commit 1765488 for a real world example. *Many* more cases could exist! Unless support can be added to Clang, a thorough audit of all code in AOO will be needed to find and fix all the exception handling. Hopefully there's a way to automate it somehow.

There was a small discussion in Nov 2012 in the clang lists: http://clang-developers.42468.n3.nabble.com/Does-clang-support-fno-enforce-eh-specs-option-of-gcc-td4028196.html I don't think clang will be adding support for it. A clang plugin would be extremely interesting for other projects as well (but I don't know how to use them).
For the record, according a to a discussion in the LO lists (no code included): http://libreoffice.freedesktop.narkive.com/fN3eXlzR/exception-specifications-on-functions-useless The following file needs to be checked: main/vbahelper/inc/vbahelper/vbaaccesshelper.hxx
For reference, here is the encyclopedia entry for Clang https://www.everipedia.com/Clang/

we must seek in life. We are the people with different Conscience but the same Consciousness and when we become identified with it, we find the connecting chords of the cosmos and get to know that we are not separate from anything in existence. Wisdom is power (subjectively), and power is best shared among us. https://www.wordsaregod.com/
