[CMake] Version 2.8 affects exception handling?

[Bill Spotz]

Hi,

I am a Trilinos developer, so I recently upgraded to CMake version 2.8  
so that I could test the Trilinos release 10 tarball.

I am seeing certain unit tests fail that were working before (in the  
Trilinos release 10 repository) and this is the current state of my  
debugging process:

   * I am testing that a constructor given an invalid (negative)  
argument throws an exception
   * gdb indicates that the exception is thrown, but I cannot catch it
   * the program crashes with a segmentation fault

I don't see any changes by other developers that would change the  
behavior of the code I am testing.  The only difference I am aware of  
between the code that was working and the code that is failing now is  
the CMake version used to build it.

Might CMake be compiling with options that affect exception handling?   
If so, how can I determine what it is doing and customize it to behave  
the way I expect it to?

Thanks,
