I have no clue what the following prototype means!!

void abc() throw (double , int , long )

can someone throw a light on the above prototype?

Simply put, it doesn't mean anything to you as a user of the function.

So.. does the standard mandate exception specifiers or is it Visual C++?

Neither. Any function may throw anything, regardless of whether it has an exception specification or not.
