Exception specifications are used to provide summary information about what exceptions can be thrown out of a function. For example:

  Copy Code 
void MyFunction(int i) throw(...);
 

An exception specification with an empty throw, as in

  Copy Code 
void MyFunction(int i) throw();
 

tells the compiler that the function does not throw any exceptions. It is the equivalent to using __declspec(nothrow). For example:

  Copy Code 
// exceptions_trycatchandthrowstatements3.cpp
#include <stdio.h>

void empty() throw()
{
    puts("In empty()");
}

void with_type() throw(int)
{
    puts("Will throw an int");
    throw(1);
}

int main()
{
    try {
        empty();
        with_type();
    }catch (int){
        puts("Caught an int");
    }
}
 

Visual C++ departs from the ANSI Standard in its implementation of exception specifications. The following table summarizes Visual C++'s implementation of exception specifications:

Exception specification  Meaning  
throw()
 The function does not throw an exception.
 
throw(...)
 The function can throw an exception.
 
throw(type)
 The function can throw an exception of type type. However, in Visual C++ .NET, this is interpreted as throw(...). See Function Exception Specifiers.
 

If exception handling is used in an application, there must be one or more functions that handle thrown exceptions. Any functions called between the one that throws an exception and the one that handles the exception must be capable of throwing the exception.

The throw behavior of a function depends on the following factors: 

Whether you are compiling the function under C or C++.


Which /EH compiler option you use.


Whether you explicitly specify the exception specification.


Explicit exception specifications are not allowed on C functions.

The following table summarizes the throw behavior of a function:

Function  /EHsc  /EHs  /EHa  /EHac  
C function
 throw()
 throw(...)
 throw(...)
 throw(...)
 
C++ function with no exception specification
 throw(...)

C++ function with throw() exception specification

Example
  Copy Code 
// exception_specification.cpp
// compile with: /EHs
#include <stdio.h>

void handler()
{
    printf_s("in handler\n");
}

void f1(void) throw(int) 
{
    printf_s("About to throw 1\n");
    if (1)
        throw 1;
}

void f5(void) throw()
{
    try {
        f1();
    } catch(...) {
        handler();
    }
}

//
// invalid, doesn't handle the int exception thrown from f1()
// void f3(void) throw()   
// {
//   f1();
// }
//

void __declspec(nothrow) f2(void)
{
    try {
        f1();
    } catch(int) {
        handler();
    }
}

// only valid if compiled without /EHc 
// /EHc means assume extern "C" functions don't throw exceptions
extern "C" void f4(void);
void f4(void)
{
    f1();
}

int main()
{
    f2();

    try {
        f4();
    } catch(...) {
        printf_s("Caught exception from f4\n");
    }
    f5();
}
 

  Copy Code 
About to throw 1
in handler
About to throw 1
Caught exception from f4
About to throw 1
