Re: [boost] [Boost.Thread]: considerremoving catch(...) from thread_proxy

Another query: couldn't we make whether exceptions get swallowed a runtime parameter? As in:

if(swallow_exceptions) { try{ users_thread_proc(); }catch(...){ whatever(); } } else users_thread_proc();

I realise this doesn't fit into the current API, but we are considering rewriting/improving Boost.Threads right?

Would adding a runtime parameter improve the API? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
