Hello:


   Forgive me in advance if my question below is inappropriate
   or unreasonable in any way.

   Which clause of the standard (14882-1998) describes the
   restrictions on the exception specifications for an
   overriding function in a derived class vis-a-vis the
   exception specification for the overridden function in
   a base class?

   I have scanned through the material dealing with derived
   classes (clause 10) of the standard, but have not seen
   any mention of the restrictions I am looking for.

   If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd be
   grateful.  Thanks.

P.S.:  I'd also like to thank Victor Bazarov and Ron Natalie
       for their replies to an earlier post by me.
