Bug 16622 – multiple scope(exit) are damaging the stack

Multiple scope(exit) blocks don't get rewind correctly. This code produces a hard crash instead of a stacktrace caused by the assertion. http://pastebin.com/NzZF1J2g

Assert(0) is special: https://dlang.org/spec/expression.html#AssertExpression Do you have a different example? Code from pastebin: void main() { scope(exit) {} scope(exit) {assert(false); }; return; }

doesn't matter what is thrown if the stack is corrupted :) void main() { scope(exit) {} scope(exit) {throw new Exception("kab00m!"); }; return; }

The specs explicitly mention you shouldn't do that: > A scope(exit) or scope(success) statement may not exit with a throw, goto, break, continue, or return; nor may it be entered with a goto. Ref: http://dlang.org/spec/statement.html#ScopeGuardStatement It might work in some situations though (happen to work on Linux). If you think it should always work feel free to bring it up on the N.G. or open an enhancement request with the rationale.
