Rule 9.3.1 - iteration statement followed by 'try'

[mstaron]

It is possible to add the 'try' statement directly after 'while', for example:

class Exception{};
void f(int i)
{
    while(i) try {             // Non-compliant
        //...
    } catch(Exception e){
    }
}

I think this is non-compliant with the Rule 9.3.1, because 'try' is not a compound statement. However, accordingly to the standard 'try' should be always followed by a compound statement if it is inside a function. This code seems to be clear, so maybe this case could be added as an exception in the future versions of MISRA C++ standard.

You are right, your example is non-compliant with 9.3.1.

Whilst 'try' is always followed by a compound statement, there are now a number of compound statements after the 'while', the 'try' and an arbitrary number of 'catch'es. For simplicity, we prefer 'while' followed by a single compound statement.
