[...] It might be best to describe what it means to say "has no effects" in one place. Maybe I should put a section in http://www.boost.org/more/error_handling.html that discusses these conventions for documenting exception-safety. Then library documentation can link to that part of the page. It would say something like: - Unless otherwise specified, all Boost library operations give the /basic guarantee/: the library's maintains its invariants and does not leak resources in the face of exceptions.
I would just make the editorial fixes as so:
...the library maintains its invariants...
I don't understand what you're suggesting here. Can you be more explicit? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
