JDK-8185734 - [Windows] Structured Exception Catcher missing around gtest execution
Description
The fix for https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8343756 caused the gtest death tests to fail on Windows with the error message "Caught std::exception-derived exception escaping the death test statement. Exception message: unknown file: error: SEH exception with code 0xc0000005 thrown in the test body."
Comments
See https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8185734, and PR text https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/1757#issue-765285610 We should understand first why `--gtest-catch-exceptions=0` does not work in your case. It seems to work for the vendors. How did you execute the gtests?
