23.6.34 Non_Visible_Exceptions

Flag constructs leading to the possibility of propagating an exception out of the scope in which the exception is declared. Two cases are detected:

• An exception declaration in a subprogram body, task body or block statement is flagged if the body or statement does not contain a handler for that exception or a handler with an others choice.
• A raise statement in an exception handler of a subprogram body, task body or block statement is flagged if it (re)raises a locally declared exception. This may occur under the following circumstances:
  • it explicitly raises a locally declared exception, or
  • it does not specify an exception name (i.e., it is simply raise;) and the enclosing handler contains a locally declared exception in its exception choices.

Renamings of local exceptions are not flagged.

This rule has no parameters.
