25. Exception specifications and pointers to members

Section: 14.5 [except.spec]Status: TC1Submitter: unknownDate: unknown

14.5 [except.spec] paragraph 3 should say what happens when two pointers to members with different exception specifications are assigned to each other, initialized with one another, etc.

**Proposed Resolution (04/99):**Change the text in 14.5 [except.spec] paragraph 3 from:

Similarly, any function or pointer to function assigned to, or initializing, a pointer to function shall only allow exceptions that are allowed by the pointer or function being assigned to or initialized.

to:

A similar restriction applies to assignment to and initialization of pointers to functions, pointers to member functions, and references to functions: the target entity shall allow at least the exceptions allowed by the source value in the assignment or initialization.
