[Bug c++/14740] New: c++ parser doesn't accept arguments to throw in brackets

["maierkom at rcs dot ei dot tum dot de" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

c++ parser doesn't like if the argument to a throw statement
is inclosed in brackets. I don't know wheather this is allowed
or forbidden by the standard, but other compilers like the
intel and the sun compiler accept it.

============ example ======================
#include <exception>

class my_exc : public std::exception
{
        public:
        my_exc(void)
        : std::exception()
        { }

        const char *what(void) const throw()
        {
                return "my_exc";
        }
};

void thrower(void)
{
        // g++ doesn't like the following line, because of the brackets around
my_exc()
        // intel cc and sun cc accept this construct
        throw (my_exc());
}

int main(void)
{
        try {
                thrower();
        } catch (...) {

        }
        return 0;
}
