Regression with REQUIRE_THROWS_AS

[joto]

Description

I used to be able to write code such as:

REQUIRE_THROWS_AS({
    statement1;
    statement2;
    ...
}, std::runtime_error);

This does not work any more (tested in version 1.7.1, it worked in 1.5.9, didn't test anything in between). Clang reports this as error: expected expression at the { and GCC as expected primary-expression before ‘{’ token.

The simpler

REQUIRE_THROWS_AS(statement, std::runtime_error);

still works fine.

Extra information

Might be related to #798.

Also a duplicate of #806.
The problem still is that since 1.7.0, Catch now relies on the passed expression being actual expression.

If you have C++11 or later available, just use lambdas.

Thanks for the quick answer. I am changing my code.
