I'm not sure what you're trying to say but it sure looks like a bug to me.
How else is one supposed to throw an exception without triggering this
warning?
Btw., the argument of a throw expression can throw, and when it does, it
becomes the thrown object:
$ cat t.C && g++ -O2 -Wunreachable-code t.C && ./a.out; echo $?
struct S { S () { throw 0; } };
void bar () { throw S (); }
int main ()
{
try { bar (); }
catch (int) { return 0; }
return 1;
}
t.C: In constructor S::S():
t.C:1: warning: will never be executed
t.C: In function void bar():
t.C:2: warning: will never be executed
