Bug ID: 57995 Summary: [4.72, C++11] Lambda [&] wrongly states catch(...) must be the last handler when variable by-reference capture occurs within catch(...) scope Product: gcc Version: 4.7.2 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: devcontrib4590 at gmail dot com Created attachment 30559 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=30559&action=edit Example Code that shows 2 failures and 2 passing cases. The following code snippet (see attachment for full code), produces the error, "error: ‘...’ handler must be the last handler for its try block [-fpermissive]", but explict capture of the variable rv, or usage of rv outside of the catch(...) scope. // $ g++ --version // g++ (GCC) 4.7.2 20121109 (Red Hat 4.7.2-8) // Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc. // This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.
