APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Using object constructors as the second and third operands in a
    ?: conditional is corrupting the exception unwinding stack.
    
    As an example, a conditional of the form:
    
    object1 = ( true  ?  TestObject(10) : TestObject(11) );
    
    is pushing an extra object reference on to the unwinding stack.
    When an exception is thrown, a destructor is accidentlly called
    twice, possibly resulting in a runtime error or crash.
    

Local fix

  • Change the ?: conditional into an 'if' statement.
    

Problem summary

  • PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    Unnecessary exception handling table cloning applied, thus
    creating corrupt exception handling table.
    
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Temporaries constructed within the context of conditional
    expressions may expose the problem when throwing an exception
    after the conditional but before another exception handling
    state change.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The exception handling table cloning has been restricted to
    only the cases where it is needed.
    

Temporary fix
