Build Identifier: HEAD

C++ compilers do not check that exceptions thrown by a method are also declared in the method's signature. Instead, program simply crash at runtime in case of such a mismatch. Because of this, such a checker is very useful.

The JDT is a good reference on what the CDT could check and how to offer quick fixes.

Reproducible: Always
