[exception] Boost.Exception and the C++11 standard
Hi, I was wondering how Boost.Exception works on compilers supporting 18.8.5 Exception propagation. Can an exception thrown by a 3pp library by retrieved by boost::current_exception() by another library or application code? BTW, what is the degree of compliance of Boost.Exception respect to 18.8.5 Exception propagation and 18.8.6 nested_exception sections of the standard? Do you have a plan towards been C++11 compliant? Best, Vicente P.S. I know that I can ask myself the same kind of questions respect to Boost.Ratio/Chrono/Thread, but this should be covered on a separate thread ;-)

No, it remains to be implemented. There is also "experimental" non-intrusive implementation for some MSVC compilers too (thanks to Anthony) which is off by default.

I haven't implemented nested_exception and I'm not planning to, but the exception_ptr stuff should be compliant. Emil Dotchevski Reverge Studios, Inc. http://www.revergestudios.com/reblog/index.php?n=ReCode
