Hi Mihai,

clang crashes probably when it encounters a "finally”. It looks like it's a known problem.

Without "finally" it compiles, but this is not an option.

Yes this is unfortunately a known issue in Clang on Windows, here are the relevant tickets in the LLVM project if you want to track them:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/51899

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/43828 (related)

Unless you (re-)throw exceptions from your @catch block you should be able to just put the code from your @finally block below the @try/catch with the same result.

2. MinGW:

MinGW is currently not supported by libobjc2. You can follow the last attempts to get this working here (the missing piece is figuring out exception handling with MinGW):

Hope that helps!
