Discussion:
The destructor of ios_base::failure should have an empty throw specification, because the destructor of its base class, exception, is declared in this way.
Proposed resolution:
Change the destructor to
virtual ~failure() throw();
Rationale:
Fixes an obvious glitch. This is almost editorial.
