Emil Dotchevski a1c08eb8e0 Boost Exception
In other libraries, watch for compile error referring to throw_exception_assert_compatibility in boost::throw_exception. Resolve by throwing an exception that derives from std::exception. This is not a new requirement but it is being enforced now.

<div class="RenoIncludeDIV"><h2>Diagnostic Information</h2>
<p>Class boost::<span class="RenoLink"><a href="exception.html">exception</a></span> provides a virtual member function <span class="RenoLink"><a href="exception_diagnostic_information.html">diagnostic_information</a></span>, with a signature similar to the familiar std::exception::what function. The default implementation returns a string value that is not presentable as a friendly user message, but because it is generated automatically, it is useful for debugging or logging purposes. Here is an example:</p>
<pre>#include &lt;<span class="RenoLink"><a href="exception_hpp.html">boost/exception.hpp</a></span>&gt;
#include &lt;iostream&gt;
void f(); //throws unknown types that derive from boost::<span class="RenoLink"><a href="exception.html">exception</a></span>.
void
g()
{
try
{
f();
}
catch(
boost::<span class="RenoLink"><a href="exception.html">exception</a></span> &amp; e )
{
std::cerr &lt;&lt; e.<span class="RenoLink"><a href="exception_diagnostic_information.html">diagnostic_information</a></span>();
}
}</pre>
<p>The <span class="RenoLink"><a href="exception_diagnostic_information.html">diagnostic_information</a></span> member function iterates over all data objects stored in the boost::<span class="RenoLink"><a href="exception.html">exception</a></span> through <span class="RenoLink"><a href="operator_shl_exception.html">operator&lt;&lt;</a></span>. The returned string is constructed by converting each data object to string and then concatenating these strings together.</p>
<p>When the <span class="RenoLink"><a href="error_info.html">error_info</a></span>&lt;Tag,T&gt; template is instantiated, the system attempts overload resolution for an unqualified call to to_string(x), where x is of type T. If this is successful, the to_string overload is used to convert objects of type T to string.</p>
<p>Otherwise, the system attempts overload resolution for s &lt;&lt; x, where s is a std::ostringstream and x is of type T. If this is successful, the operator&lt;&lt; overload is used to convert objects of type T to string.</p>
<p>Otherwise the system is unable to convert objects of type T to string, and an unspecified stub string value is used without issuing a compile error.</p>
