I set up to find out what happens if the assert string throws. I have to
admit I did not expect the result:
$ cat test.d
import std.stdio;
import core.exception;
void main() {
scope(failure) {
writeln("Not gonna happen");
}
try {
static string throwingFunc() {
throw new Exception("An exception");
}
assert(0==1, throwingFunc());
} catch(Exception ex) {
writeln("Exception");
} catch(AssertError ex) {
writeln("Assert");
}
}
