C++ application aborts when exception is thrown when linked to libnvcuvid or libnvidia-encode

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA on Windows Subsystem for Linux

The simple program below terminates with SIGABRT as soon as an exception is thrown if it is linked with the default NVIDIA drivers from /usr/lib/wsl/lib in WSL (Ubuntu 20.04). The source was compiled with g++ 9.4.0.

Exception are enabled as I am not compiling with -fno-exceptions flag. Has anyone else encountered this? If I install nvidia-driver package and set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH to load the non-WSL drivers everything works perfectly - the exception is thrown and handled. However, Nvidia’s recommends against installing drivers in WSL and we should be using the ones injected from the Windows host.

#include <exception>
#include <iostream>

int main() {

    try {
        if (1) {
            throw std::runtime_error("I just threw an exception");
        }
    }
    catch (const std::exception& e) {
        std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl;
        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}
