https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17226 Issue ID: 17226 Summary: Exception during the generation of an assert message hides AssertError Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: critical Priority: P1 Component: dmd Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: acehreli yahoo.com The following program fails an assertion. However, not the more important AssertError but a measly Exception is thrown instead: import std.string; void foo(int i) { // In this case a %s is forgotten but it could be any other trivial error. assert(i == 42, format("Bad parameter:", i)); } void main() { foo(43); } Output: std.format.FormatException [...] Orphan format arguments: args[0..1] I think this is a critical issue because the program could have caught the Exception and continue unawares of the most important AssertError.
