Yes, but the documentation linked to explicitly says...
Explicit exception specifications are not allowed on C functions.

I tested, it does compile, and the destructors are getting called as
they should when an explicit throw(...) spec is added to the C linkage
function. That said, I cringe at the thought relying on behavior that is
documented to not work or is not supported.
FWIW, I looked to see if throw(...) is being used by any projects
out there and what for. I've found a few but none very helpful. In
particular, I found only one extern "C" function with throw(...),
and that's in some toy example. All the other hits point to C++
functions:
