Is it possible to restrict or prohibit functions from generating exceptions?

In C++, you can restrict functions from throwing exceptions using the noexcept specifier. If a function is declared with noexcept, it is guaranteed not to throw an exception. For example:
void func() noexcept {
// code that does not throw exceptions
}
If an exception is thrown inside such a function, the program will call std::terminate().
In the old C++11 standard, there was a throw() specifier, which meant that the function does not throw exceptions, but now it is recommended to use noexcept.
In C (not C++), exceptions are not supported, so the question is not relevant.
