It’s because VS has the most advanced native debugger, sitting on top of the [Windows Debug API](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/debug/debugging-functions).

Although this is something you could ignore for the code you write, it's obviously important to know for the code you may read.

Today we'll study another new fancy specifier: [noexcept](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/noexcept_spec).
