Just to be pedantic, division by zero is U.B. according to the
Standard, and U.B. can certainly include throwing an exception; in
that sense, the way MSVC throws an exception of some unspecified type
is perfectly Standard-compliant.
On a side note, depending on compilation flags (/EH..), Win32
"structured exceptions" can actually be caught by catch(...) in MSVC.
