Re: [boost] [tokenizer] is exception unaware

However tokenizer::iterator is not a typical container nor typical iterator. It is even unusual that it checks for the iterator's validity (because trying to access beyond the container causes assert(valid_) to fail ).

MS debug iterators check their constraints - in debug mode. assert() also only exists in debug mode.

The rationale from typical container iterators makes no sense when applied to tokenizer::iterator, because iterating over tokenizer items is not fast - it requires parsing of the content.

The stream iterators don't throw either. (The underlying stream might throw, though.) Sebastian Redl
