Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #5293: support exception-handling feature in gcc https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5293 <p> It's not clear to me if the exception-handling is deliberately excluded from the gcc toolset or not, given how small this change is, it almost seems like it. Anyway, I can't see a reason not to support this feature for GCC. Appending this at the end of build/v2/tools/gcc.jam makes it work for me (on darwin). </p> <pre class="wiki">toolset.flags gcc OPTIONS &lt;exception-handling&gt;off : -fno-exceptions ; toolset.flags gcc OPTIONS &lt;exception-handling&gt;on : -fexceptions ; </pre> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5293 Trac 1.4.3
