+<dd>Exception specifications have proven close to worthless in practice, while adding a measurable overhead to programs. The feature should be deprecated. The one exception to the rule is the empty throw specification which could serve a legitimate optimizing role if the requirement to call the runtime unexpected mechanism was relaxed in this case.</dd>
+</dl>
+<p>As expressed in the national body comment above, exception
+specifications have not proven useful in practice. There are numerous
+discussions of the problems with exception specifications in C++ (see,
+e.g., <a class="citation-reference" href="#sutter02" id="id1">[Sutter02]</a>, <a class="citation-reference" href="#boost03" id="id2">[Boost03]</a>), but the main issues are:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li><em>Run-time checking</em>: C++ exception specifications are checked at runtime
+rather than at compile time, so they offer no programmer guarantees
+that all exceptions have been handled. The run-time failure mode
+(calling <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">std::unexpected()</span></tt>) does not lend itself to recovery.</li>
+<li><em>Run-time overhead</em>: Run-time checking requires the compiler to
+produce additional code that also hampers optimizations.</li>
+<li><em>Unusable in generic code</em>: Within generic code, it is not generally
+possible to know what types of exceptions may be thrown from
+operations on template arguments, so a precise exception
+specification cannot be written.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>In practice, only two forms of exception-throwing guarantees are
+useful: an operation might throw an exception (any exception) or an
+operation will never throw any exception. The former is expressed by
+omitting the exception-specification entirely, while the latter <em>can</em> be
+expressed as <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">throw()</span></tt> but rarely is, due to performance
+considerations.</p>
+<p><a class="citation-reference" href="#n3050" id="id3">[N3050]</a> introduces a new kind of exception specification, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">noexcept</span></tt>,
+the specifies that the function will not throw any exceptions. Unlike
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">throw()</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">noexcept</span></tt> does not require the compiler to introduce
+code to check whether an exception is thrown. Rather, if a function
+specified as <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">noexcept</span></tt> is exited via an exception, the result is
+undefined behavior, which permits compilers to optimize based on the
+knowledge that a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">noexcept</span></tt> function will not propagate an
+exception.</p>
+<p>With the introduction of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">noexcept</span></tt>, programmers can now express the
+two kinds of exception guarantees that are useful in practice, without
+additional overhead. This paper therefore proposes to deprecate
+&quot;dynamic&quot; exception specifications, i.e., those based on
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">noexcept</span></tt>.</p>

+<p>Modify paragraph 2 as follows:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<p>2 The library provides default definitions for the global allocation
+and deallocation functions. Some global allocation and deallocation
+functions are replaceable (18.6.1). A C++ program shall provide at
+most one definition of a replaceable allocation or deallocation
+function. Any such function definition replaces the default version
+provided in the library (17.6.3.6). The following allocation and
+deallocation functions (18.6) are implicitly declared in global
+scope in each translation unit of a program.</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+void* operator new(std::size_t) <span class="del">throw(std::bad_alloc)</span>;
+void* operator new[](std::size_t) <span class="del">throw(std::bad_alloc)</span>;
+void operator delete(void*) <span class="del">throw()</span> <span class="ins">noexcept</span>;
+void operator delete[](void*) <span class="del">throw()</span> <span class="ins">noexcept</span>;

+<p>These implicit declarations introduce only the function names
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator</span> <span class="pre">new</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator</span> <span class="pre">new[]</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator</span> <span class="pre">delete</span></tt>,
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator</span> <span class="pre">delete[]</span></tt> [<em>Note</em>: the implicit declarations do not
+introduce the names <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">std</span></tt> <span class="del">, std::bad_alloc,</span> and
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">std::size_t</span></tt>, or any other names that the
+library uses to declare these names. Thus, a <em>new-expression</em>,
+<em>delete-expression</em> or function call that refers to one of these
+functions without including the header <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;new&gt;</span></tt> is
+well-formed. However, referring to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">std</span></tt> <span class="del">, std::bad_alloc,</span> and
+<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">std::size_t</span></tt> is ill-formed unless the name has been declared by
+including the appropriate header. -- <em>end note</em>] Allocation and/or
+deallocation functions can also be declared and defined for any
+class (12.5).</p>

+Introduction
+************
+
+UK-136
+ Exception specifications have proven close to worthless in practice, while adding a measurable overhead to programs. The feature should be deprecated. The one exception to the rule is the empty throw specification which could serve a legitimate optimizing role if the requirement to call the runtime unexpected mechanism was relaxed in this case.
+
+As expressed in the national body comment above, exception
+specifications have not proven useful in practice. There are numerous
+discussions of the problems with exception specifications in C++ (see,
+e.g., [Sutter02]_, [Boost03]_), but the main issues are:
+
+* *Run-time checking*: C++ exception specifications are checked at runtime
+ rather than at compile time, so they offer no programmer guarantees
+ that all exceptions have been handled. The run-time failure mode
+ (calling ``std::unexpected()``) does not lend itself to recovery.
+* *Run-time overhead*: Run-time checking requires the compiler to
+ produce additional code that also hampers optimizations.
+* *Unusable in generic code*: Within generic code, it is not generally
+ possible to know what types of exceptions may be thrown from
+ operations on template arguments, so a precise exception
+ specification cannot be written.
+
+In practice, only two forms of exception-throwing guarantees are
+useful: an operation might throw an exception (any exception) or an
+operation will never throw any exception. The former is expressed by
+omitting the exception-specification entirely, while the latter *can* be
+expressed as ``throw()`` but rarely is, due to performance
+considerations.
+
+[N3050]_ introduces a new kind of exception specification, ``noexcept``,
+the specifies that the function will not throw any exceptions. Unlike
+``throw()``, ``noexcept`` does not require the compiler to introduce
+code to check whether an exception is thrown. Rather, if a function
+specified as ``noexcept`` is exited via an exception, the result is
+undefined behavior, which permits compilers to optimize based on the
+knowledge that a ``noexcept`` function will not propagate an
+exception.
+
+With the introduction of ``noexcept``, programmers can now express the
+two kinds of exception guarantees that are useful in practice, without
+additional overhead. This paper therefore proposes to deprecate
+"dynamic" exception specifications, i.e., those based on
+``noexcept``.

+The wording in this paper is based on the current working paper
+(N3035) as amended by N3050.
+
+3.7.4 Dynamic storage duration [basic.stc.dynamic]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Modify paragraph 2 as follows:
+
+ 2 The library provides default definitions for the global allocation
+ and deallocation functions. Some global allocation and deallocation
+ functions are replaceable (18.6.1). A C++ program shall provide at
+ most one definition of a replaceable allocation or deallocation
+ function. Any such function definition replaces the default version
+ provided in the library (17.6.3.6). The following allocation and
+ deallocation functions (18.6) are implicitly declared in global
+ scope in each translation unit of a program.
+
+ .. parsed-literal::
+
+ void* operator new(std::size_t) :del:`throw(std::bad_alloc)`;
+ void* operator new[](std::size_t) :del:`throw(std::bad_alloc)`;
+ void operator delete(void*) :del:`throw()` :ins:`noexcept`;
+ void operator delete[](void*) :del:`throw()` :ins:`noexcept`;
+
+ These implicit declarations introduce only the function names
+ ``operator new``, ``operator new[]``, ``operator delete``,
+ ``operator delete[]`` [*Note*: the implicit declarations do not
+ introduce the names ``std`` :del:`, std::bad_alloc,` and
+ ``std::size_t``, or any other names that the
+ library uses to declare these names. Thus, a *new-expression*,
+ *delete-expression* or function call that refers to one of these
+ functions without including the header ``<new>`` is
+ well-formed. However, referring to ``std`` :del:`, std::bad_alloc,` and
+ ``std::size_t`` is ill-formed unless the name has been declared by
+ including the appropriate header. -- *end note*] Allocation and/or
+ deallocation functions can also be declared and defined for any
+ class (12.5).
+
+15.4 Exception specifications [except.spec]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Modify the paragraphs in this section as follows. Note that every
+paragraph in this section is accounted for (even those that have not
+changed), to ease review. Editorial notes are :ed:`[Yellow]` and will
+describe, e.g., when specific paragraphs have been moved.
+
+ 1 A function declaration lists exceptions that its function might
+ directly or indirectly throw by using an *exception-specification*
+ as a suffix of its declarator.
+ :raw-html:`<span class="ins">A function is said to <i>allow</i> an
+ exception of type <code>E</code> if such an exception will propagate
+ from the outermost block of that function out of the function.</span>`
+
+ .. parsed-literal::
+
+ *exception-specification*:
+ *dynamic-exception-specification*
+ *noexcept-specification*
+
+ :ed:`[Moved to D.5p1]` :raw-html:`<span class="del"><i>dynamic-exception-specification</i>:</span>`
+ :raw-html:`<span class="del"><code>throw (</code> <i>type-id-list<sub>opt</sub></i> <code>)</code></span>`

+ :ed:`[Moved to D.5p1]` :raw-html:`<span class="del"><i>type-id-list</i>:</span>`
+ :raw-html:`<span class="del"><i>type-id</i> <code>...</code><sub><i>opt</i></sub></span>`
+ :raw-html:`<span class="del"><i>type-id-list</i> <code>,</code> <i>type-id</i> <code>...</code><sub><i>opt</i></sub></span>`
+
+ *noexcept-specification*:
+ ``noexcept (`` *constant-expression* ``)``
+ ``noexcept``
+
+ In a *noexcept-specification*, the *constant-expression*, if supplied,
+ shall be a constant expression ([expr.const]) that is contextually
+ converted to ``bool`` ([conv] Clause 4). A *noexcept-specification*
+ ``noexcept`` is equivalent to ``noexcept(true)``.
+
+ 2 An *exception-specification* shall appear only on a function
+ declarator for a function type, pointer to function type, reference
+ to function type, or pointer to member function type that is the
+ top-level type of a declaration or definition, or on such a type
+ appearing as a parameter or return type in a function declarator. An
+ *exception-specification* shall not appear in a typedef declaration
+ or *alias-declaration*. [ *Example* :
+
+ .. parsed-literal::
+
+ void f() :del:`throw(int)`:ins:`noexcept`; // OK
+ void (\*fp)() :del:`throw (int)`:ins:`noexcept`; // OK
+ void g(void pfa() :del:`throw(int))`:ins:`noexcept`; // OK
+ typedef int (\*pf)() :del:`throw(int)`:ins:`noexcept`; // ill-formed
+
+ - *end example* ]
+
+ :ed:`[Moved to D.5p2]` :del:`A type denoted in an exception-specification shall not
+ denote an incomplete type. A type denoted in an
+ exception-specification shall not denote a pointer or reference to an
+ incomplete type, other than void\*, const void\*, volatile void\*, or
+ const volatile void\*.`
+
+ 3 If any declaration of a function has an *exception-specification*,
+ all declarations, including the definition and an explicit
+ specialization, of that function shall have an
+ *exception-specification* with the same set of *type-id* s.
+ :ed:`[FIXME: Note about what it means to have the same set of type-ids?]`
+ If any declaration of a pointer to function, reference to function, or
+ pointer to member function has an *exception-specification*, all
+ occurrences of that declaration shall have an
+ *exception-specification* with the same set of *type-id* s. In an
+ explicit instantiation an *exception-specification* may be specified,
+ but is not required. If an *exception-specification* is specified in
+ an explicit instantiation directive, it shall have the same set of
+ *type-id* s as other declarations of that function. A diagnostic is
+ required only if the sets of *type-id* s are different within a single
+ translation unit.
