Re: [Boost-users] exception on boost serialization

Hello Gavin, I have not defined BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS.

Interesting. The place where you're getting the compilation error is within this section: #ifndef BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS #include <exception> #endif namespace boost { namespace serialization { #ifdef BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS BOOST_NORETURN inline void throw_exception(std::exception const & e) { ::boost::throw_exception(e); } #else template<class E> BOOST_NORETURN inline void throw_exception(E const & e){ throw e; } #endif } // namespace serialization } // namespace boost so BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS must be getting declared somewhere, which is borne out by the include list you provided not showing "exception" in there (at least, not that I can see). There is a declaration of boost::throw_exception in , so adding that before your include of may be appropriate to avoid the compilation error, however that file includes the following code: namespace boost { #if defined( BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS ) BOOST_NORETURN void throw_exception( std::exception const & e ); // user defined BOOST_NORETURN void throw_exception( std::exception const & e, boost::source_location const & loc ); // user defined #endif where "user defined" sounds to me (not that I've used it, but..) like you need to define your own implementations of those functions (or you may end up with an undefined symbol error from the linker.

I don't know why a small project with qt and boost serialization work and this one no. I tried to add #include before include the serialization header, I don't know if it's correct but seem to fix the problem

all.hpp is as here - https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_78_0/boost/exception/all.hpp, which includes , where throw_exception is also declared. It's probably worth taking a look at this page: https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_78_0/libs/throw_exception/doc/html/throw_ex... but also worth trying to track down where/why BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS is defined if you think it's wrong.
