          Issue ID: 22986
           Summary: Phobos cannot be compiled with dip1008
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody@puremagic.com
          Reporter: razvan.nitu1305@gmail.com

Phobos exceptions sometimes escape their catch block, however, dip1008 does not allow that. One example: https://github.com/dlang/phobos/blob/master/std/parallelism.d#L3770 . However, there are others, just try to compile phobos with dip1008.

Although the DIP says that the exception can be cloned in this case, the problem is that the user then needs to manually manage the exception (free it).

I don't think that this is a phobos problem, rather that dip1008 is too restrictive.
