Rationale (August, 2010):

CWG reaffirmed the explicit decision of the Committee.

Date: 2010-03-15.00:00:00

The consensus at the Pittsburgh (March, 2010) meeting, as reflected in the adoption of paper N3050, was that it was preferable for violation of a noexcept guarantee to call std::terminate; previous versions of the paper had called for undefined behavior in this case. Not everyone was convinced that this was a good decision, however; this issue is intended to facilitate further investigation and discussion of the question with the benefit of more time and resources than were available during the deliberations at the meeting.
