This is actually correct if the lambda is called inside the catch block, or not called at all.
See the snippet below on [godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/xPhx4Pfa4).
```c++
void rethrow_in_lambda() {
try {
throw 5;
} catch(...) {
auto lambda = [] { throw; };
lambda();
}
}
```
The issue only happens, if the lambda escapes the `catch` block.
See my original example on [godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/Yxoxso3ra):
```c++
void foo() {
std::function<void()> fn;
try {
throw 1;
} catch (...) {
fn = [] { throw; }; // the lambda and the `throw` escape the catch block
}
fn();
}
```
I think besides using a lambda, the only other way this can happen is the one below.
```c++
void rethrow_in_lambda() {
std::function<void()> fn;
try {
throw 1;
} catch (...) {
struct wrapper {
static void foo() { throw; };
};
fn = wrapper::foo;
}
fn();
}
```
I guess to be 100% accurate in detecting these cases, we need flow sensitive analysis*, so I think we should just ignore them and mention it in the docs too. Finding these `throw;` statements is something we already do with `ASTMatcher`s, so ignoring them will work.
*the `throw;` escaping can happen in any nested function. E.g.:
```c++
#include <functional>
std::function<void()> fn;
void escape(std::function<void()> &ref) {
fn = ref;
}
void rethrow_in_lambda() {
try {
throw 1;
} catch (...) {
std::function<void()> lambda = [] { throw; };
escape(lambda);
}
}
int main() {
rethrow_in_lambda();
fn();
return 0;
}
```
