So I have this procedure:
extern (C) void signal_proc(int sn)  system nothrow
Which can call this:
shutdown_system()  system nothrow

Problem I have is inside "shutdown_system()" I have code that 
can't
possibly be  nothrow because their are a lot of subsystems to 
shutdown.

What I've done for now is just strip the  nothrow attribute of 
the C function in
core.stdc.signal. It feels very hackish but it works..

You can wrap the contents of shutdown_system() with a try-catch block 
and swallow all exceptions that way.

Careful here.. it sounds like you're doing work inside a signal handler that's
likely to be unsafe / 
undefined.  There's very very little that you can safely do inside a signal
handler.  Hit google and 
search for async signal safe.

Keep in mind that "assume won't throw" will assert *should* an 
exception actually be thrown.

If the function actually can and will throw, but you simply don't 
care, you'd need a "squelchException" (which we don't have), or 
more simply, just:
//----
try {
     myCode();
} catch (Exception){}
//----
