            Bug ID: 59224
           Summary: std::uncaught_exception always returns true after
                    exception while constructing another exception.
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: man2gm at gmail dot com

This code prints (erroneously)

Hello, world!
1

in g++ 4.8.1, g++ 4.6.3, but works correctly in g++ 4.5.2.

cat main.cpp 
#include <string>
#include <iostream>


struct Exception
{
        std::string what;
        Exception(const std::string & what_) : what(what_) {}
};


std::string f()
{
        throw Exception("Hello, world!");
}

void g()
{
        try
        {
                f();
        }
        catch (...)
        {
                throw Exception(f());
        }
}


int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
        try
        {
                g();
        }
        catch (const Exception & e)
        {
                std::cerr << e.what << std::endl;
        }

        /// returns 1 in gcc 4.6.3, 4.8.1 - bug
        std::cerr << std::uncaught_exception() << std::endl;

        return 0;
}
