--- Comment #6 from Jason Merrill <jason at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-06-08 21:22:30 UTC ---
The underlying issue is that G++ just ignores exception-specifications on
non-function declarations.  I think this choice originated in the uncertainty
about whether or not the exeception-specification would become part of a
function type rather than remain associated with the declaration.  And as it
happens, DR 92 (http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/cwg_active.html#92)
is still open...
