--- Comment #2 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The relevant text is in 15.4 Exception specifications, p2:
A type denoted in an exception-specification shall not denote a pointer or
reference to an incomplete type, other than cv void* or a pointer or reference
to a class currently being defined.
The test case below contrasts the diagnostic issued for an ordinary function to
the absence of one for the implicit specialization of the function template.
$ cat u.c && gcc -c -std=c++11 -xc++ u.c
struct S;
void f () throw (S*);
template <class T> void g () throw (T);
void foo () {
g<S*>();
}
u.c:3:19: warning: invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct S’
void f () throw (S*);
^
u.c:1:8: warning: forward declaration of ‘struct S’
struct S;
^
