I don't know that it's accurate to compare C++ exception specifications with Java-style checked exceptions. Exception specifications aren't checked at compile time and typically don't do what you want at runtime.
shrug You're probably right. I've never really used them in C++, especially because I tend to avoid C++ in favor of the smallest possible amount of C to bootstrap primary use of a much higher level language.
