icc: noexcept in secondary thread loses stack on throw on linux

Hi, I came across an issue with the ICC compiler (2015.1.133) on Linux when using throw in a secondary thread that was declared with noexcept:

#include <thread>

void f1() { 
      throw 1; 
} 

void f2() noexcept { 
      f1(); 
} 

int main( int argc, char **argv ) { 
      std::thread t(f2); 
      t.join(); 
      return 0; 
}

If you run it through icc & gdb (Kubuntu 12.04 & 16.04), you see an incomplete and incorrect stack trace:

# icc -v
icc version 15.0.1 (gcc version 4.6.0 compatibility)
# icc -g -pthread -std=gnu++0x -o test test2.cc
# gdb test

I am having error when compiling your test case.

vahoang@orcsle100:/tmp$ gcc -g -pthread -std=gnu++0x -o test c.cc
c.cc:6: error: expected initializer before ânoexceptâ
c.cc: In function âint main(int, char**)â:
c.cc:11: error: âf2â was not declared in this scope
vahoang@orcsle100:/tmp$ cat c.cc
#include <thread>
void f1() {
      throw 1;
}

void f2() noexcept {
      f1();
}

int main( int argc, char **argv ) {
      std::thread t(f2);
      t.join();
      return 0;
}

Please use g++ instead of gcc and use version 4.6 or higher.
