Bug 8675 – Nothrow can't throw Errors

A nothrow function will refuse an explicit call to "throw Error": nothrow void foo() { assert(1, "Some error"); assert(0, "Some error"); } //This is fine nothrow void bar() { throw new Error("Some error"); } //This is NOT fine Error: object.Error is thrown but not caught Error: function main.bar 'bar' is nothrow yet may throw nothrow void baz() { try { throw new Error("Some error"); } catch(Exception) { } } //This works though (!) //Obviously, the "Error" is not caught...
