I see that I'm slightly late in responding, but I'll mention this anyway: In the proposed threading model for C++, what happens on an uncaught exception in a thread? Is that still terminate? Or is only that thread killed off? (I think I remember seeing discussion in C++ committee meeting minutes or a proposal that indicated the former, but haven't been tracking such things closely. Boost.Thread was relatively recently changed from the latter to the former.) Assuming uncaught exception in a thread => terminate, then the sticky_exception only permits cleanup in the throwing thread and not in any other threads, which doesn't seem to me to be a whole lot more useful than an immediate termination rather than the initial throw.
