3830,"gcc-3.3 -W dislikes ""void inline"" in serialization/throw_exception.hpp",Martin Dorey <mdorey@…>,Robert Ramey,"I realize that this is perfectly legal code, ""only"" a warning and a non-default one at that, not to mention one that's only issued by an old compiler, and only then when a minority-interest -fno-exceptions switch is passed.  To add insult to injury, I'm reporting the bug against an old version of Boost!

If you haven't given up reading in disgust already, I do have a little supporting evidence.  The ""problem"" code...

void inline throw_exception(std::exception const & e) {

... is still there in the latest version:

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/boost/serialization/throw_exception.hpp

This ""bug"" could easily be resolved, by transposing ""void"" and ""inline"".

A ""bug"" report on a similar issue elsewhere was received favorably, in this thread:

http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2008/08/39572.php

I searched for existing bugs for this, finding only the bug where the ""inline"" was perhaps added:

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2947

Sorry, again, for the spam.  Good conscience requires me to submit our local patch upstream, for the benefit of anyone else in a similar position.",Patches,closed,,serialization,Boost 1.39.0,Problem,fixed,,
