When a function specifies the exceptions that it may throw, the compiler
can check if a caller is either handling the exceptions or throwing them
too. g++ does not check that.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
#include <exception>

void foo() throw (exception)
{
        throw exception();
}

int main()
{
        foo(); // should get a warning here
        return 0;
}


Actual Results:  The program above compiles without any warning and
dumps core when run.


Expected Results:  The program should still compile, but g++ should give a
warning that the exception is not being handled, so the programmer could
create a try block and handle it more gracefully than simply dumping core.
