This, by the way, is proof positive that noexcept is defective: the thing that specifies that something can't throw is, practically speaking, useless in checking if something may throw.
There's no need for proof of its *defectiveness for the purpose* you would like to use it: "Note that a *noexcept* specification on a function is not a compile-time check; it is merely a method for a programmer to inform the compiler whether or not a function should throw exceptions." *) degski *) https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/noexcept_spec -- *"Big boys don't cry" - **Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman*
