Proposed resolution (approved by CWG 2024-02-16):

1. Change in 6.7.7 [class.temporary] paragraph 1 as follows:

   Temporary objects are created

   • when a prvalue is converted to an xvalue (7.3.5 [conv.rval]), and
   • when needed by the implementation to pass or return an object of trivially copyable type (see below), and.
   • when throwing an exception (14.2 [except.throw]). [Note 1: The lifetime of exception objects is described in 14.2 [except.throw]. —end note]

   ...

2. Change in 14.2 [except.throw] paragraph 3 as follows:

   Throwing an exception initializes a temporary an object with dynamic storage duration, called the exception object. If the type of the exception object would be an incomplete type (6.8.1 [basic.types.general]), an abstract class type (11.7.4 [class.abstract]), or a pointer to an incomplete type other than cv void (6.8.4 [basic.compound]) the program is ill-formed.

[Accepted as a DR at the March, 2024 meeting.]

(From submission #492.)

According to 14.2 [except.throw] paragraph 3, the exception object is a temporary object. But none of the possible storage durations of temporary objects matches the behavior of exception objects.
