Why use BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION to throw?
- Typically, there is no need to do anything else to support BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS builds;
- Enables boost::exception_ptr, so the exceptions you throw can be transported between threads;
- Enables boost::error_info, so users can attach stuff to exceptions.
- Enables better messages from boost::diagnostic_information.

What about boost/detail/no_exceptions_support.hpp? Could that file be moved to boost/exception for public use? I use it, but don't feel comfortable with it being in the detail directory.
This header is news to me. :) Maybe something like this could become a documented part of Boost Exception. I don't understand why the macros defined in no_exceptions_support.hpp expand to if("") { } else if(!"") { } etc. in BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS builds. Expanding to if(true) { } else if(false) { } seems more appropriate to me. Emil Dotchevski Reverge Studios, Inc. http://www.revergestudios.com/reblog/index.php?n=ReCode
