Well, we don't have a standard yet, so it's all sort of experimental :-(

But, yes, you can use an empty exception-specification to declare that a
function does not throw any exceptions. The run-time system will enforce
the declaration by calling unexpected() if a such a function tries to
pass along any exception. The compiler will disallow any throw clause
in the function itself.

This all assumes your compiler supports exceptions.
