Issue 18206: Fir<> copy ctor must be allowed to throw std::bad_alloc (vsiplxx-rtf)
Source:  (Mr. Brooks Moses, brooks.moses(at)dpdx.net)
Nature: Revision
Severity: Minor
Summary: The Fir<> copy constructor is declared "VSIP_NOTHROW".  This is
erroneous and should instead be "VSIP_THROW((std::bad_alloc))", because
the copied Fir<> object must not share the storage allocated by the
source instance (in case the source is destroyed).


The same error applies to Convolution<>, Correlation<>, and potentially
others.
Resolution: In the interest of closing the current RTF so that the solutions to resolved issues can be made publically available, this issue is deferred to the next RTF.
Disposition: Deferred
