try-catch cannot catch exception in a shared library load by dlopen

Question

The library which contains the try-catch block is load dynamically using dlopen, and the try-catch block is as simple as bellow:

try {
    throw "sth";
} catch (...) {}

The program that dynamically load the library abort complains:

terminate called after throwing an instance of ...
terminate called recursively

And the backtrace is:

It works well if I compile and run as an executable program.

Any ideas to figure this out?

Thanks.

P.S.

The version of the compiler is:

$ arm-hisiv400-linux-g++ --version
real-arm-hisiv400-linux-g++ (Hisilicon_v400) 4.8.3 20131202 (prerelease)
Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.  There is NO

The compile flags for the library is:

-g -O2 -fPIC -DPIC -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter

---

A reproducible example:

The hello.cc

extern "C" {

void hello() {
    try {
        throw "hello world";
    } catch (...) {}
}

}

compiled by:

arm-hisiv400-linux-g++ -c -g -O2 -Wall -Werror -fPIC hello.cc
arm-hisiv400-linux-g++ -fPIC -DPIC -shared  libunwind-arm.so libunwind.so -g -O2 hello.o -Wl,-soname -Wl,hello.so -o hello.so

Note the packed/linked libunwind-arm.so and libunwind.so, I finally find this is the problem.

These two libraries are introduced by a library required by my shared library, it works well after removing them.

And the main.c:

#include <dlfcn.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    void* handle = dlopen(argv[1], RTLD_GLOBAL | RTLD_NOW);
    if (handle == NULL)
        return 1;

    typedef void(*func)();
    func f = (func)dlsym(handle, "hello");
    if (f == NULL) {
        return 1;
    }

    f();

    return 0;
}

and compiled main.c:

arm-hisiv400-linux-gcc main.c -g -O2 -Wall -Werror -ldl -o hello
