Mysterious linker error "undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'" using clang in cygwin

Question

I did some search, all answers seem to suggest that using clang++ instead of clang (or rather g++ in place of gcc), which is what I did in the first place. Still, the problem persists, with either

clang++ -Wall -std=c++11 -o test.exe test.cpp A.cpp B.cpp etc.cpp

or

clang++ -lstdc++ -Wall -std=c++11 -o test.exe test.cpp A.cpp B.cpp etc.cpp

The compilation and linking works fine with g++ in Cygwin.

g++ -Wall -std=c++11 -o test.exe test.cpp A.cpp B.cpp etc.cpp

Update:

Here is the information during linking. Is clang trying to use gcc for linking, rather than g++? In that case, why didn't flag -lstdc++ and the -lsupc++ as suggested below, work?

Solution 1

Found this solution:

https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-06/msg00294.html

Basically just add -fno-exceptions on the command line when you compile for example clang++ helloworld.cpp -std=c++11 -fno-exceptions

Solution 2

OK, as I was further wandering around the web, I found a relevant post, see nos's answer.

So I realized I was compiling with Cygwin64 terminal, while Cygwin's clang port is a 32 version. After switching to the Cygwin32 terminal, everything works fine.
