As long as there is a simple way to throw an exception such that:
1. It is derived from std::exception 2. It contains information about the stack trace
It is ok for me.
This is the basic way to use Boost.Exception with Stacktrace: #include <boost/stacktrace.hpp> #include <boost/exception/all.hpp> #include <stdexcept> #include <iostream> typedef boost::error_info<struct tag_stacktrace, boost::stacktrace::stacktrace> stacktrace_info; template<class E> void throw_with_stacktrace( E const & e ) { throw boost::enable_error_info( e ) << stacktrace_info( boost::stacktrace::stacktrace() ); } void f() { throw_with_stacktrace( std::runtime_error( "pumpkin" ) ); } void g() { f(); } int main() { try { g(); } catch( boost::exception const & x ) { std::cerr << boost::diagnostic_information( x ) << std::endl; } } It's also possible to build upon BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION instead: #include <boost/stacktrace.hpp> #include <boost/exception/all.hpp> #include <stdexcept> #include <iostream> typedef boost::error_info<struct tag_stacktrace, boost::stacktrace::stacktrace> stacktrace_info; #define BOOST_THROW_WITH_STACKTRACE( e ) try { BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION( e ); } catch( boost::exception & x ) { x << stacktrace_info( boost::stacktrace::stacktrace() ); throw; } void f() { BOOST_THROW_WITH_STACKTRACE( std::runtime_error( "pumpkin" ) ); } void g() { f(); } int main() { try { g(); } catch( boost::exception const & x ) { std::cerr << boost::diagnostic_information( x ) << std::endl; } }
