Why?
Because we don't have the luxury of an extra compilation stage like Corba does. There's no way to stop unwinding with catch(...), store whatever arbitrary exception object was thrown, and then rethrow it later.
I'm guessing this is a reference to IDL compilation? I see that generally Boost does not make use of code generators (i.e. something that fits into a build procedure like "yacc"). It does (brilliantly) use "code generation" from MPL lists but that's something else. I'm sure everyone understands this already but just had to show that I did also :-) Out of curiosity; is this a Boost policy? I vaguely thought I had read some Boost library requirements along these lines but now cant find them. Help? <snip>
