Comment: Took out dtors throwing exceptions, as that is covered by ERR33-CPP

...

Code Block
struct Foo {
  Foo();    // may throw
  ~Foo();   // may throw
};

Foo A;

void bar() {
  static Foo B;
}

int main()
try {
  bar();
  // other executable statements
}
catch(...) {
  // will catch exceptions thrown from bar() and
  // any other executable statements in the try
  // block above

  // IMPORTANT: will not catch exceptions thrown
  // from the constructor of the global object A
  // or those from the destructor of the static
  // local object B defined in bar()
}

Thus, it is important to prevent constructors and destructors of objects with static storage duration to throw exceptions. See also ERR33-CPP. Destructors must not throw exceptions.
