parser fails with "throw(...)" exception specification

[Bertk]

The parser fails with exception specification like

int myfunc() throw(...){}

Without "..." everything is fine

int myfunc1() throw(){
}
int myfunc2() throw(int){
}

Seems to be a Microsoft specific extension?

[Bertk]

Yes, this is "Nonstandard Behavior" (see also https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x84h5b78.aspx)

This modification will solve the issue

    b.rule(typeIdList).is(
      b.firstOf(
        b.sequence(typeId, b.optional("..."), b.zeroOrMore(",", typeId, b.optional("..."))), // C++ 
        "..."// Microsoft extension
      )
    );

Would do it like this, think "..." is not a typeIdList?

b.rule(dynamicExceptionSpecification).is(
   CxxKeyword.THROW, "(", b.optional(b.firstOf(
      typeIdList, // C++
      "..." // Microsoft extension
    )), ")"
);

Actually I am not sure whether "..." is not a synonym for any type in this context.

The catch-all clause catch(...) matched exceptions of any type.

The Exception Specifications (throw) (C++) documentation on MSDN uses ... instead typeIdList
