 *         Since ICU 64, use U_NOEXCEPT instead.
 *
 *         Previously, define this to define the throw() specification so
 *                 certain functions do not throw any exceptions
 *
 *         UMemory operator new methods should have the throw() specification 
 *         appended to them, so that the compiler adds the additional NULL check 
 *         before calling constructors. Without, if <code>operator new</code> returns NULL the 
 *         constructor is still called, and if the constructor references member 
 *         data, (which it typically does), the result is a segmentation violation.

/* UClassID-based RTTI */
/*===========================================================================*/

/**
 * UClassID is used to identify classes without using the compiler's RTTI.
 * This was used before C++ compilers consistently supported RTTI.
 * ICU 4.6 requires compiler RTTI to be turned on.
 *
 * Each class hierarchy which needs
 * to implement polymorphic clone() or operator==() defines two methods,
 * described in detail below.  UClassID values can be compared using
 * operator==(). Nothing else should be done with them.
 *
 * \par
 * In class hierarchies that implement "poor man's RTTI",
 * each concrete subclass implements getDynamicClassID() in the same way:
 *
 * \code
 *      class Derived {
 *      public:
 *          virtual UClassID getDynamicClassID() const
 *            { return Derived::getStaticClassID(); }
 *      }
 * \endcode
 *
 * Each concrete class implements getStaticClassID() as well, which allows
 * clients to test for a specific type.
 *
 * \code
 *      class Derived {
 *      public:
 *          static UClassID U_EXPORT2 getStaticClassID();
 *      private:
 *          static char fgClassID;
 *      }
 *
 *      // In Derived.cpp:
 *      UClassID Derived::getStaticClassID()
 *        { return (UClassID)&Derived::fgClassID; }
 *      char Derived::fgClassID = 0; // Value is irrelevant
 * \endcode
