The following results in a segmentation fault:

void main ()
{
    try
    {
        int b = 3;
    }

    catch (int a) { }
}

I think the problem is that the compiler doesn't perform semantic analyzes in all cases on catch statements.

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/blob/master/src/statement.c#L4561

If the if-statement and return is removed from statement.c#L4561 everything works correctly. This guard for the semantic analyze was added for a reason, in this commit:

c28df7d72e72f6c0c3bb389538afb1871b7ad15c

DMD checks the "type" instance variable to determine if the semantic analyze has been run for a given statement. The problem in this case is this piece of code:

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/blob/master/src/parse.c#L4641

This will set "type" on the Catch statement in the constructor. When the compiler then comes to run the semantic analyze on the Catch statement it thinks it's already been run. To me it seems it's not reliable to check "type" if the semantic analyze has been run. Perhaps add a new flag?

The ICE will only happen if there's some code in the try-statement. If I remove the code in the try-statement I can basically put whatever I want in the catch-statement, that is syntactically correct, without the compiler complaining. This compiles fine:

void main ()
{
    try
    {

    }

    catch (int sdf)
    {
        asd;
        a * + 4;
        a b;
    }
}

I'm a bit surprised that this regression has been available for so long. I actually only found it by inspecting the source code of DMD. Then I was able to produce a test case. Seems people always write their catch-statements correctly :)

My past bug fix for bug 7814 was essentially incorrect, because it was caused by bug 10049.
