Re: [boost] [RFC] sticky_exception

Do you see a use for such a class? Would you use it? Would you want libraries you're using to use it? Do you have real world example conditions which fit this use case? Or is it just evil (and why)?

To be honest I don't see much use of such a class for user code. I could see a use for such a class for a framework, like you want to throw an exception so your framework users are notified, then you recup the exception later on. But I think that's fishy. Any examples I try to find for a use of the sticky exception makes me think that someone is trying to implement signals using exceptions. I'm curious to find out what you think a good use for the sticky exception would be. Philippe
