No, it's the reverse. If the specification of a function in the standard library has no throw-specification, the function is allowed to throw any exception. (That is true for any function, of course, standard or user-defined.) A function in a container class could potentially throw any exception, depending on the characteristics of user-defined classes provided as template arguments. --- Steve Clamage, stephen.clamage@eng.sun.com --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
