neko Exception not catched

[AdrianV]

In the following neko code the exception thrown from DateTime.format is not catched

class Main {
	static function main() {
		try {
			trace(DateTools.format(Date.now(), "%d.%m.%y %T"));
		} catch (e: Dynamic) {
			trace(e); // This line is never reached
		}
		trace("Hello, world!"); // This line is never reached
	}
}

Oops - it depends on the neko version. Must have an older neko on my machine. It works on another machine as expected

Is it catchable on that older version with Haxe 4.0 or Haxe 3.4.7?

[AdrianV]

I will try

[AdrianV]

no I have the same problem with haxe 4 and haxe 3.4.
Maybe its a problem of neko 32bit and jit, vs neko 64bit. On my linux with neko 64bit it works. On my windows I have neko in 32bit - but self compiled.
I will check again.

Related Neko change, which is probably the reason why older Neko crash: HaxeFoundation/neko#195

I checked with 32 bit and 64 bit on windows. Both work. It is my self compiled neko version. Sorry for the noice.

It seems to be a neko problem on windows. I opened an issue there HaxeFoundation/neko#211
