Compiler Error C2382 with Standard Header File <system_error> in Visual C++ 2012 RC by sunseraphic

Hi,

I am try to compile Clang on my windows 7 workstation with Visual C++ 11 in Visual Studio 2012 RC.

I met a error C2382 with standard header file system_error, so I investigate its source code and found:

// Line 155
const error_category& generic_category();
const error_category& iostream_category();
const error_category& system_category();

// Line
inline const error_category& generic_category() _NOEXCEPT
    {    // get generic_category
    return (_Error_objects<int>::_Generic_object);
    }

inline const error_category& iostream_category() _NOEXCEPT
    {    // get iostream_category
    return (_Error_objects<int>::_Iostream_object);
    }

inline const error_category& system_category() _NOEXCEPT
    {    // get system_category
    return (_Error_objects<int>::_System_object);
    }

where macro "_NOEXCEPT" was defined in yvals.h

// Line 18
#define _NOEXCEPT    throw ()

As it cames from Clang's clangCodeGen project, I inspected this project setting, and found that /Za option is ON!

That's said this case may be ignored with default configuration of VC++ 2012 RC, but when you turn /Za option on, it would came out!

All above, hope you can fix this in RTM.

By the way, according to C++11 Standard, these function sould be defined like this:

ISO/IEC 14882:2011(E)
19.5.1 Class error_category [syserr.errcat]
19.5.1.1 Class error_category overview [syserr.errcat.overview]

const error_category& generic_category() noexcept;
const error_category& system_category() noexcept;

I don't know why VC++ did not support C++11 keyword "noexcept", but if you dont like introducing new keyword, I suggest that you may support a combined keyword with existed keyword, such as:

"do not throw while using this"

instead.

Just for fun : ), this joke is from here:
