[Bug c++/14724] New: Destructor not called on backwards goto past initialization

["gson at gson dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

When the following program is compiled with g++ 3.3.2 and executed, it
will invoke the constructor of the object "v" 10 times in a row with
no intervening calls to the destructor, as evidenced by it printing
"ctor" 10 times but "dtor" only once.

According to ISO/IEC 14882:1998(E) section 6.6, the destructor of v
should be invoked each time the goto statement is executed:
"a transfer [...] back past an initialized variable with automatic
storage duration involves the destruction of variables with automatic
storage duration that are in scope at the point transferred from but
not at the point transferred to".

The program works correctly when compiled with gcc 2.95.

#include <iostream>

template <class T>
struct C {
        C() { std::cout << "ctor\n"; }
        ~C() { std::cout << "dtor\n"; }
};

int main(int, char **) {
        int i = 0;
 again:
        C<int> v;
        if (++i < 10)
                goto again;
}
