Throwing in the destructor is not good (C++11 change try to not allow see below). But in reality, those codes are exist.
C++11 [class.dtor]p3:
A declaration of a destructor that does not have an exception-specification is implicitly considered to have the same exception specification as an implicit declaration.
With this change, the application worked before may now run into runtime termination. May gold here is to emit a warning to provide only possible info to where the code may need to be changed.
First there is no way, in compile time to identify the “throw” really throw out of the function. Things like the call which throw out… To keep this simple, when “throw” is seen, checking its enclosing function(only destructor and dealloc functions) with noexcept(true) specifier emit warning.
Here is implementation detail:
A new member function CheckCXXThrowInNonThrowingFunc is added for class Sema in Sema.h. It is used in the call to both BuildCXXThrow and TransformCXXThrowExpr.
The function basic check if the enclosing function with non-throwing noexcept specifer, if so emit warning for it.
The example of warning message like:
k1.cpp:18:3: warning: ''~dependent_warn'' has a (possible implicit) non-throwing
noexcept specifier. Throwing exception may cause termination. [-Wthrow-in-dtor] throw 1; ^
k1.cpp:43:30: note: in instantiation of member function
'dependent_warn<noexcept_fun>::~dependent_warn' requested here
dependent_warn<noexcept_fun> f; // cause warning
Let me know if more information is needed.
Thanks.

Do not quote %0. Also, remove the full-stop and capitalized "Throwing". Diagnostics are not complete sentences. I think it should probably read "%0 has a non-throwing exception specification but can still throw, resulting in unexpected program termination" (or something along those lines).
