Bug ID: 93016
Summary: erroneous new (nothrow_t) still throws an exception
Product: gcc
Version: 10.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: barry.revzin at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Reduced from SO (https://stackoverflow.com/q/59414654/2069064):
#include <new>
int f()
{
int n = -1;
try {
int *p = new(std::nothrow) int[n];
if (!p) return 0;
} catch (const std::bad_array_new_length&) {
return 1;
}
return 2;
}
This function returns 1 (because the new expression throws
bad_array_new_length), it should return 0 (because the "allocation function
that would have been called has a non-throwing exception specification").
