Research direction

Start with the A15-1-3 rule implementation and reproduce the reported function-template example containing std::runtime_error. Done means this case is no longer reported as a duplicated exception while the rule continues to detect the intended violations.

  • A15-1-3
Description

When defining a function template which throws an exception, A15-1-3 warning is triggered, meaning that the exception is not unique.

Example
template <typename T>
void false_positive() {
  throw std::runtime_error{"message"}; // Triggers A15-1-3 warning
}
