For the former two, breakages have replacements and are a vestige noone used for a long time. Besides that, compilers have switches to treat throw() as noexcept.

As for the latter, those breakages are relatively rare.



Someone still has to write those replacements, and no, not all compilers have such switches.

Besides that was only a quick set of examples, if I would bother going through my ISO copies, there would be a couple more to list.


Do you still think those are breakages that get in the middle a lot?


Depends on how lucky one happens to be, specially in large code bases, touched by dozens of consulting companies, and offshoring deliveries.
