The current development compiler works fine:

    45% cat syn.cc
    class A {}; void main () { throw A (); }
    46% g++ syn.cc
    syn.cc:1: `main' must return `int'
    47% g++ -fsyntax-only syn.cc
    syn.cc:1: `main' must return `int'

Changing the void to int produces a correct C++ program:

    48% sed s/void/int/ syn.cc > synint.cc
    49% g++ -fsyntax-only synint.cc
    50% g++  synint.cc
    51% ./a.out
    Aborted (core dumped)
    52%

And the uncaught exception, of course, eventually calls abort().
