global: Fix ECM exception handling semantics mismatch in MSVC
According to the Extra CMake Modules documentation [1], > kde_enable_exceptions() > > Enables exceptions for C++ source files compiled for the CMakeLists.txt > file in the current directory and all subdirectories. What isn't listed there, however, is that exceptions are enabled through the usage of -fexceptions (GCC/Clang) and -EHsc (MSVC/Intel) [2]. All good... except that those mean slightly different things: > -fexceptions > > Enable exception handling. Generates extra code needed to propagate > exceptions. For some targets, this implies GCC generates frame > unwind information for all functions, which can produce significant > data size overhead, although it does not affect execution. If you do > not specify this option, GCC enables it by default for languages > like C++ that normally require exception handling, and disables it > for languages like C that do not normally require it. However, you > may need to enable this option when compiling C code that needs to > interoperate properly with exception handlers written in C++. You > may also wish to disable this option if you are compiling older C++ > programs that don’t use exception handling. (source: [3]) > c > When used with /EHs, the compiler assumes that functions declared as > extern "C" never throw a C++ exception. It has no effect when used with > /EHa (that is, /EHca is equivalent to /EHa). /EHc is ignored if /EHs or > /EHa aren't specified. (source: [4]) These two put together mean that any exception thrown in a callstack with C code in between works in Unix-y compilers, while they would crash straight to Qt/QtConcurrent's event loop in MSVC. The only affected piece of code is the JPEG error catcher, introduced by Halla in 5c4c327a, so I added a file-level workaround there. A Krita-wide workaround is not possible at the moment; all consumers of kritapigment would need the same surgical workaround, because OpenEXR also injects /EHsc through its exported targets. This was already reported upstream [5].
