'Does std::terminate() trigger stack unwinding?
I've been trying to implement Exception class, and for program termination i've decided to use std::terminate(), but i'm not suse whether or not std::terminate() triggers stack unwinding process.
For example, if i compile and run this code:
struct Test {
Test() {
std::cout << "Constructed\n";
}
~Test() {
std::cout << "Destructed\n";
}
};
int main() {
Test t;
std::terminate();
return 0;
}
it will output this:
Constructed
terminate called without an active exception
and it seems that destructor is not being called.
Solution 1:[1]
The standard handler for std::terminate() calls directly std::abort.
If you take a look here, you will find out that std::abort() did not call any of the destructors.
Destructors of variables with automatic, thread local (since C++11) and static storage durations are not called. Functions registered with std::atexit() and std::at_quick_exit (since C++11) are also not called. Whether open resources such as files are closed is implementation defined. An implementation defined status is returned to the host environment that indicates unsuccessful execution.
