The error message is not swallowed because the code is lowered in a 'try {goto}
finally', therefore there is no b declaration to jump over in the same scope as
goto after lowering.

If you replace the goto with a simple return, it is allowed. Skipping b
declaration is perfectly legit as long as b destructor is skipped, that's how
the return instruction will be lowered:

void test(int x)
{
        A a = 0;
        try
        {
           return;
        }
        finally
          a.~this();    
        A b = 0;        
        b.~this();
}


The problem is that the original code is lowered to:

void test(int x)
{
        A a = 0;
        try
        {
           goto END;
        }
        finally
          a.~this();    
        A b = 0;
        END:
        b.~this();
}

instead of the correct lowering:

void test(int x)
{
        A a = 0;
        try
        {
           goto END;
        }
        finally
          a.~this();    
        A b = 0;        
        b.~this();
        END:
}


By the way, the C++ compiler (MSVC) lowers the same code like this, which is
fine:


void test(int x)
{
   {
     A a = {};
     ~a;
     goto END:
   }
   A b = {};
   ~b; 
END:;
}
