I'd say that if you're trying to use scope in any situation
where you'd try and handle an exception, then you're using
it wrong.
But it's super convenient.
It fundamentally doesn't work to handle an exception with a
scope guard. They rethrow the exception.
void fun() {
scope(failure) return;
throw new Exception(__FUNCTION__);
}
void main() {
import std.exception;
assertNotThrown(fun());
}
Initially I thought this was a bug, but this seems intended since
it doesn't work with `scope(exit)` - it yields the compiler error
"Error: return statements cannot be in finally, scope(exit) or
scope(success) bodies".
