I have a function add(index, data) which throws RangeError if the index is invalid.

unittest { // is supposed to test that RangeError is thrown on a range violation
   assertThrown!RangeError(add(size_t.max, something)); //which doesn't work, the test is killed with core.exception.RangeError: Range violation

   // this kills the test, too: core.exception.RangeError: Range violation
   try {
     add(size_t.max, something);
     assert(false, "Expecting RangeError");
   } catch (RangeError) {}
}

Just for clarification, I do _not_ intend to catch RangeError outside of a unittest. What I want is that the test acknowledges the correctly thrown RangeError and gracefully reports success.


What are my options?

Never mind. For whatever reason RangeError is now caught. Sorry for the noise.
