This program:

import std.string;

int func()
{
    throw new Exception("It's an exception.");
}

void main()
{
    int[string] arr;

    try
    {
        arr["hello"] = func();
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
    }

    assert(arr.length == 0, format("actual: %s", arr.length));
}


results in this output:

core.exception.AssertError@d.d(20): actual: 1

The associative array should have been unchanged. The assignment never took place because an exception was thrown before the function could return the value to be assigned to the associative array. Since no assignment took place, the associative array should not have changed, but it did. It has 1 value in it where it should have 0.

Okay. I just spent a few hours trying to track down a failure due to this, so I'm bumping it up to major (what the exact criteria for what level a bug is, I don't know, but this one is definitely annoying).

What seems to be happening here is that the associative array gets assigned a default-initialized value if an exception was thrown from the expression on the right-hand side of the assignment. My best guess is that a default-initialized element is added to the AA as part of arr["hello"], and then when the assignment doesn't happen due to the exception, the AA is left with the default-initialized value in it.
