4068	Borland also needs private/public workaround in boost::exception	niels_dekker	niels_dekker	"Borland/CodeGear currently won't compile boost::exception, because it cannot deal with the friend declarations of exception_detail::set_info, inside the boost::exception class definition. So please consider applying the attached patch. It leaves the data of boost::exception public, when {{{__BORLANDC__<=0x621}}}, just like you did for other compilers.

Note: I have no idea whether the workaround is still needed when {{{__BORLANDC__>0x621}}}. It's just that I only tested Embarcadero/CodeGear C++ 6.21. But older Borland versions certainly have the same problem.  For example, http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/output/siliconman-boost-bin-v2-libs-exception-test-all_hpp_test-test-borland-5-9-3-debug.html says:
{{{
