[Bug c++/30196] New: Variable-length automatic array contents gets destroyed on unrelated exception

["Tringi at Mx-3 dot cz"]

I found this interesting thing. The "array" content is destroyed after the
"catch" statement but it shouldn't be. It behaves the same in MinGW 4.2.0 and
3.4.4 for me. It seems like the "array" is unwound out when the exception is
caught.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <cstdio>
#include <stdexcept>

int main () {
    int n = 10;
    int array [n];

    for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) array [i] = i;

    try {
        for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) std::printf ("%u,", array [i]);
        std::printf (" = %u\n", n);

        throw 1;

    } catch (int) {
        for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) std::printf ("%u,", array [i]);
        std::printf (" = %u\n", n);
    };
    return 0;
};
