I posted this on the gcc-help list but I haven't received any replies
so I thought that might mean that I hadn't missed anything obvious
and gcc doesn't have such a warning at present.
Is this correct?
What are the chances of adding such a warning?
Is it basic enough to add to the 3.4.x and/or 4.x C++ front end that
I could help with the task?

Subject: Warning on C++ catch by value on non primitive types
Is there any way to get gcc/g++ to warn on C++ code that does a
catch by value of non primitive types (i.e. types that aren't int,
float, bool, etc.)?
I would take a warning on any catch by value but the ideal would be
a warning that doesn't fire for "catch (const int x)"
This continually creeps into our our C++ code base.
