Dear boost community, I'm really new to using the boost library. Whatever, the first part I want to use is boost::exception. But already there start my problems: I'm using 'boost::get_error_info<boost::throw_file>( myBoostException )' to retrieve the file name where my exception was thrown. The problem is that the returned 'const char*' pointer contains several wild characters at its end. It seems that the null-termination get lost somehow, somewhere. The same is with 'boost::throw_function' and the string returned by 'boost::diagnostic_information( myBoostException )'! For example, that is what I get from boost::diagnostic_information: ".\myFile.cppÍýýýý««««««««îþ(134): Throw in function MyClass::DoSomething()ÍÍÍÍÍÍ^ñ6 Dynamic exception type: class MyBoostException" That's really strange because the strings are correctly stored to the boost::exception class attributes 'throw_function_' and 'throw_file_'. So what do I wrong??? I would be so thankful when anyone could help me! Following some detailed information: - plattfrom: Windows XP SP3 - compiler: MS VC++ 8 - character set: multi-byte - boost version: Release 1.37.0 code snippet for throwing my exception: throw MyBoostException() << boost::throw_file( __FILE__ ) << boost::throw_line( __LINE__ ) << boost::throw_function( "MyClass::DoSomething()" ); code snippet for catching my exception: catch( MyBoostException& myBoostException ) { std::string info = boost::diagnostic_information( myBoostException ); const char* string = info.c_str(); } My best regards, Markus
