Description
_RERAISE; expands to throw;, that is it rethrowing an exception.
This is used for cleanups in exception case.
It is inconvenient for debugging, when the same exception shows up twice.
Change this construct to usual scope guards.

Start by locating _RERAISE uses in <vector> and the other headers covered by the issue, then inspect how those uses perform exception cleanup. Replace the construct with the project’s usual scope guards and verify that cleanup preserves behavior without rethrowing the same exception for debugging.
