[Bug c++/14026] New: std::uncaught_exception is true although there are no uncaught exceptions (rethrow, ghost exception)

[hubert dot schmid at stud dot uka dot de]

The following code shows the problem:

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    try {
	throw 1;
    } catch (...) {
	try {
	    throw;
	} catch (...) {
	    std::cout << std::uncaught_exception() << std::endl;
	}
    }
    std::cout << std::uncaught_exception() << std::endl;
}

The program prints:
1
1
The expected output is:
0
0

Some detail: std::uncaught_exception() uses a variable (uncaughtExceptions),
that counts the number of uncaught exceptions. The value of this variable is -1
at the two print statements. I guess, this variable is incremented each time an
exception is thrown and decremented each time an exception is caught. I also
guess, that in the above program, the variable is possible not incremented at
the rethrow statement.
