[Adopted at the October, 2015 meeting as P0012R1.]
The resolution of issue 1351 results in the following:
void (*p)() throw(int);
void (&r)() throw(int) = *p; // ill-formed
The reason is that the set of potential exceptions for an indirection is “any” instead of maintaining the known potential exceptions of the operand. It would seem to be reasonable to propagate the set in such cases.
A similar issue arises with function template argument deduction:
template<typename T> T& f(T* p);
void (*p)() throw(int);
void (&r)() throw(int) = f(p); // ill-formed
