If you don't disable exception handling, the compiler must treat the dynamic call in boost::function as potentially throwing. There is no way around that. (If you do disable exception handling, boost::function already does not throw. It still depends on Boost Exception, but only because that is where the common workarounds for dealing with BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS live; that is, BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS is a valid configuration for the Boost Exception library.)
