Is the function enable_error_info really meant to be customizable that way, by allowing to add an overload of enable_error_info to one of the namespaces associated with its argument? Otherwise I think it's preferable to do a qualified call to boost::enable_error_info: {{{ throw boost::enable_error_info( std::length_error(""exception test length error"") ); }}} This little modification would also make it easier to get enable_error_info_test compiling on Codegear. Your unqualified function call triggers an internal compiler error, as I just reported to Embarcadero: http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=85444 " Patches closed Boost 1.43.0 exception Boost 1.44.0 Problem fixed
