Here, throw() is an /exception specification/. It means that when you call
IsRebootRequired(), no exceptions will escape into your code. It does
*not*
guarantee that IsRebootRequired won't throw any exceptions though, just
that
if it does, it will terminate the application before you can say
"unhandled
exception".

You don't need a try/catch block in the code that *calls*
IsRebootRequired,
since no exceptions can escape from it. However, you might want a
try/catch
block *inside* IsRebootRequired if it calls any functions that can
themselves
throw (unless you want your application to terminate in those cases).
