 This bug is probably well understood by now, but here is a minimal
 testcase for it (no includes, as few C++ features as possible):
 
  extern "C++" {
     namespace std {
       class exception   {
           const char* name() const     {
    }
      };
            class bad_cast : public exception   {
      };
    }
       }
       class foo {
    public:     virtual ~foo() {
   }
    };
        class bar: public foo {
    public:     int val;
        bar(): val(123) {
   }
    };
        static void cast_test(const foo &f) {
        try {
            const bar &b = dynamic_cast<const bar &>(f);
        }
    catch (const std::bad_cast &) {
        }
    }
        int main() {
        foo f;
        cast_test(f);
    }
