Re: [Boost-users] [boost-users][exception] BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION returns

how is BOOST_THROW_EXCEPION defined? The line might expand to   error() << action_name(name); which does not throw than.

It's defined as ::boost::throw_exception(x), which goes to "throw enable_current_exception(enable_error_info(e));" It *does* throw for sure, as I can see the debugger notifications for both "first-chance" and "unhandled", and I can step into exception filter in boost::thread.
