[boost] [boost::throw_exception] and platforms where it don't throw

Hi All, I'm about to replace all my throw Foo; statetements in the Pointer Container library with something else to support platforms without exceptions. Is using boost::throw_exception the way to do it? If I where on such a platform, I kinda think that I would have preferred an assertion *at the throw spot* instead of making the call stack deeper yet and then call about or something. Thanks for any feedback -Thorsten
