User(s) can reproduce this bug

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel

The following C++ code leads to a compiler crash:

class RegisterData
{
public:

    RegisterData(const std::string& name, std::function<bool()> fun )
    {
    }
};

RegisterData TestCrash("%TestCrash", []() -> bool
{
    try
    {

    }
    catch (std::bad_cast&)
    {

    }

    return true;
});

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    return 0;
}

1>d:\users\stefan\projects\compilercrashtest\compilercrashtest\compilercrashtest.cpp(20): fatal error C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler.
1> (compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 1420)
1> To work around this problem, try simplifying or changing the program near the locations listed above.
1> Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual C++
1> Help menu, or open the Technical Support help file for more information

The issue seems to be due to the presence of the try/catch in the lambda body. If I comment out the try catch the crash dissapears.

Details (expand)

Visual Studio 2010 SP1

1. Create a new C++ console project
2. Paste the following code over the cpp file containing the main function:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <string>
#include <functional>

class RegisterData
{
public:

    RegisterData(const std::string& name, std::function<bool()> fun )
    {
    }
};

RegisterData TestCrash("%TestCrash", []() -> bool
{
    try
    {

    }
    catch (std::bad_cast&)
    {

    }

    return true;
});

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    return 0;
}

3. Build the Solution (F7)

-> crash occurs

Hi Ulzii,

Thank you for the answer and glad to hear that this is fixed. Is there any chance that the fix will be made available for VS 2010 (let's say via a ServicePack 2)? Or this will be available really only within the new VS 11 release?

Thanks,
Stefan

Hello Duca,

Thank you for reporting this bug. We've fixed this in the current in-development release of Visual C++. We'll make sure this scenario still compiles as we ship the next major release. I apologize for the inconvinience the bug is causing you.

Thanks,
Ulzii

At the simplest level the code below also has the same problem:

#include "stdafx.h"

auto fn = []()
{
    try    {    }
    catch (...)    { }
};

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    return 0;
}

try/catch in lambdas at function scope does not lead to problems. try/catch in global scope lambdas do cause problems it would seem...
