[BUG] try..catch does not work if compiled with clang 8.0

Hi,
I am experiencing similar problems with my software. I am using Cygwin's
mingw g++.
The issue is very dependent on the files which are compiled, and how
they are compiled. (-Ox, -g, ...)
My suspicion is that the problem is with ld and the merging of the
exception region tables, but was never able to track down the issue.
However I cannot reproduce your issue on my machines. I tried:
GNU C++14 (GCC) version 7.4.0 (x86_64-pc-cygwin)
on a VM
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 xxx 2.11.2(0.329/5/3) 2018-11-08 14:34 x86_64 Cygwin
and
GNU C++14 (GCC) Version 7.4.0 (x86_64-pc-cygwin)
on my laptop
CYGWIN_NT-10.0 xxx 3.1.1(0.340/5/3) 2019-12-18 09:28 x86_64 Cygwin
with very different cygwin versions. Both of them give
./catch_test
std::exception: Error in reading no_such_file.bin
I tried my default compiler, too:
GNU C++14 (GCC) version 7.4.0 (x86_64-w64-mingw32)
No problems with this setup either.
Can you maybe post your binary so I could try it with this one.
Best regards
Dominik
