I wish the compiler would rewrite scope(failure) to use chained
exceptions. Otherwise any exceptions thrown within
scope(failure) can end up losing information about what was the
original exception that was thrown.
Ran into this issue with the following ordering bug:
auto tmpfilename = fn.dup ~ ".XXXXXX\0";
int fd = mkstemp (tmpfilename.ptr);
scope (failure) remove (tmpfilename); // bug:
if (fd == -1)
throw new Exception (strerror(errno).to!string);
The error thrown was
Failed to remove file ...
Is there any work in progress to chain the exceptions in
scope(failure)?
