Yes, since C code will not throw D exceptions (C doesn't know anything about D exceptions). Unless you pass in a function pointer to a D function that does throw an exception... but that case doesn't work for other reasons, so it generally shouldn't be done. So, barring that, all C code is automatically nothrow. T -- What do you call optometrist jokes? Vitreous humor.
