Is this compile error typedef int (*j)() throw(A)?

Question

#include <iostream>

class A {};

typedef int (*j)() throw(A);  

int f() 
{
    std::cout << "function f" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

int main()
{ 
    j y = f;
    y();
}

In all sites and Stroustrup too says that there will be compile error, but it compiles. Are there any changes in standard?

Answer 1

I know this is not an answer to this question -

MSVC 2010(that I have) throws no error, compiles fine and works without a hiccup

G++(GNU) says error: 'j' declared with an exception specification

Clang says error: exception specifications are not allowed in typedefs

Bottomline: Compiler bug in MSVC.
