Well, VC++ doesn't support set_unexpected. It prints fn2 for a similar
example using set_terminate, but I haven't tested that one on GCC yet.

Which version of VC++? VC5 and VC2008 are somewhat differant in how
well they implement the standard. (And yes, there are still people
compiling code with VC5).

I use 2003. It ignores exception specifications completely, except for
nothrow specifications, which are used for optimization only. (They're
mapped onto __declspec(nothrow).)

Exception specifications is not supported in VC++ (any release) and
probably never will, it is not a useful enough feature (i.e. if you
start to use a lot exception specifications (other than nothrow) it soon
becomes unmanageable).
