There's already BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION to allow users some degree of adaptability when throwing an exception inside a Boost library: http://www.boost.org/libs/exception/doc/BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION.html However, BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION does not assume that the function throwing can return more or less normally: the user can only specify a termination procedure. Besides, it's not clear to me what the degree is of adoption of this macro in place of raw throw across Boost libraries. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo
