The check confusingly fires on non-exception classes if any base class has an
alias in an exception class. In our case, the exception had an alias for an
allocator interface, so every allocator inheriting from that interface was
treated as an exception type. (But only when the header for the exception was
included.)
The reason behind this is the odd (but documented) behavior of isDerivedFrom
and similar matchers: it does not only iterate through the bases as written,
but through all relevant nodes to check them for being a base. This makes the
matcher also finds aliases of the base classes.
Only going through the bases as written can be done with `hasAnyBase`. However,
that doesn't cover the class itself, and we have to check it separately. Since
we're no longer looking through aliases via the matcher, and because we're
apparently interested in the canonical type, we check that (see the test with
"typedef std::exception ERROR_BASE;").

Subject: [PATCH] Don't look into base class aliases in

The check confusingly fires on non-exception classes if any base class
has an alias in an exception class. In our case, the exception had an
alias for an allocator interface, so every allocator inheriting from
that interface was treated as an exception type. (But only when the
header for the exception was included.)
