It was brought to my attention that scope(failure) can prevent the bubbling of
exceptions by returning from the failure statement.   This is bad behavior as
scope failures can unintentionally prevent other scope failures from occurring.

Please paste test cases inline whenever possible.

import std.stdio;

void someFunc()
{
     scope(failure) { writeln("What?");} // <-- NEVER EXECUTED?!
     scope(failure) {
         writeln("Failed in someFunc()");
         return;
     }
     throw new Exception("Exception!");
}

void main() {
     try {
         someFunc();
         writeln("Yay, someFunc() is nothrow");
     } catch(Exception e) {
         writeln("An exception in main!");
     }
}

 Shows how scope(failure) return's can prevent proper exception bubbling.
"scope(failure)" doesn't return. It lives "inside" the function it is declared in. It "holds" a return statement. It "rethrows" only once at the end of its block, but you are explicitly allowed to place a control statement inside the scope to *not* rethrow. An example case would be: //---- import std.stdio; void main() { foreach(i ; 0 .. 10) { scope(failure) continue; //Ignore exception and power through writeln(i); throw new Exception(""); } writeln("done!"); } //---- Another example could be an "Exception to return code" case: //---- HRESULT foo() nothrow { scope(failure) return E_FAIL; code_that_might_throw_here(); } //---- So I think the behavior is correct. Maybe just not intuitive at first, or not correctly documented. -- Configure issuemail: https://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

I understand what's happening, but I don't think scope(failure) should ever be
used in this way.  It's not what it was originally intended for, and can hide
other scope(failures) without a compiler error being generated..   That's why I
submitted the bug.

Also, see this -- scope(failure) unintentionally hiding an Error!

import std.stdio;

void someFunc()
{
     scope(failure) { writeln("What?");} // <-- NEVER EXECUTED?!
     scope(failure) {
         writeln("Failed in someFunc()");
         return;
     }
     try{
       assert(0, "Hrm?");
     } catch(Exception e) {
       writefln("Exception!");
     }
}

void main() {
     try {
         someFunc();
         writeln("Yay, someFunc() is nothrow");
     } catch(Exception e) {
         writeln("An exception in main!");
     }
}
