133. Exception specifications and checkingSection: 14.5 [except.spec] Status: dup Submitter: Daveed Vandevoorde Date: 25 June 199914.5 [except.spec] paragraph 1 says,
An exception-specification shall appear only on a function declarator in a function, pointer, reference or pointer to member declaration or definition.This wording forbids exception specifications in declarations where they might plausibly occur (e.g., an array of function pointers). This restriction seems arbitrary. It's also unclear whether this wording allows declarations such as
void (*f())() throw(int); // returns a pointer to a function
// that might throw "int"
At the same time, other cases are allowed by the wording in paragraph 1 (e.g., a pointer to a pointer to a function), but no checking for such cases is specified in paragraph 3. For example, the following appears to be allowed:
void (*p)() throw(int);
void (**pp)() throw() = &p;
Rationale (10/99): Duplicate of issues 87 and 92.
