Re: [boost] Why doesn't boost::exception derive from std::exception?

Why doesn't boost::exception derive from std::exception?

So it can be injected non-intrusively (by means of boost::enable_error_info) as a base to other exception types, which may derive from std::exception already. In particular, note that Boost libraries typically call boost::throw_exception to throw, which requires that the exception type derives from std::exception.
