That said, "libraries should generally use BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION" is a good rule for Boost, and I wouldn't mind having something like it in the inspect tests, provided that libraries with a legitimate reason not to use it can be registered as exceptions to the rule.
Maybe I'm missing something but what is an example of such a legitimate reason?
For example, "it buys nothing, because the library can't really work as coded without exception support." Such is the case for Boost.Python, I believe. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
