Summary: We consume Hermes through multiple .so's, which means we have multiple (weak) typeinfo definitions of facebook::jsi::JSError. Previously we were using gnustl, which would strcmp typeinfo to decide whether a certain exception handler applies, which meant this didn't cause any major issues. However since this is deprecated, we recently switched to libc++, which does not have this by behaviour (or it does, but behind a flag I'm not sure how to enable). This causes any JS exceptions to fall through from our exception handlers and fatal the app. This problem is actually documented in the common Android NDK problems page: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ndk/+/master/docs/user/common_problems.md#rtti_exceptions-not-working-across-library-boundaries The suggested solution is to ensure that any exception types have a key function defined (a non-pure, out-of-line virtual function). The simplest one to add is a virtual destructor. This makes the object file that holds the implementation of the destructor export a non-weak typeinfo definition which will at load time override the other weak versions. I'm not sure why we're the first to hit this. RN's JSIExecutor doesn't explicitly reference JSError which probably helps (https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/ReactCommon/jsiexecutor/jsireact/JSIExecutor.cpp#L256-L258) and they also don't use unguarded callbacks like we do.
