[RESOLVED] noexcept

[John E]

I'm building a popular gtk library called glibmm. Effectively, it's a C++ wrapper around the libglib toolset. Some classes used to have member functions declared like this:-

void whatever_function() throw();

but in the latest version, that's been changed to this:-

void whatever_function() noexcept;

I can't find anywhere where noexcept gets defined to throw() - so is this part of some newer C++ specification? (C++11 maybe??)

[John E]

Yes, I think this is something new in C++11

[Igor Vartanov]

noexcept operator (since C++11)

[OReubens]

so upgrade to a compiler supporting C++11

you 'may' be able to get around it by doing a define yourself
#define noexcept throw()

but if that lib has other changes that make use of C++11 concepts (which is very likely) that won't really help.
