Would you happen to know which compilers implement n3242 already? Boost.Exception works for me with the compilers I use everyday, as long as the original exception was thrown with enable_current_exception.
hmm - I really don't know. It looks like boost exception implements this functionality for those compilers which don't have it. Actually this is really good thing in my opinion. If this were a separate library part of the boost directory/namespace I think it would be good addition.
But this facility is included in the same library as another facility useful to users. So addressing of one problem - non-conforming compilers is not orthogonal to the other problem - helpful facilities for users. It's not fine grained enough for my taste.
Sure it is. There are three separate pieces: 1) throw boost::enable_error_info(e) adds boost::exception. 2) throw boost::enable_current_exception(e) adds the information needed for boost::current_exception. 3) boost::throw_exception is implemented in terms of both (1) and (2).
