local_time.hpp won't compile with BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS

[Alex Henrie <alexhenrie24@…>]

I have a project that is compiled with -fno-exceptions and -DBOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS, but I get a compilation error when I try to use Boost's date/time library. To reproduce the error, just say:

#include <boost/date_time/local_time/local_time.hpp>

The error is:

/usr/include/boost/numeric/conversion/converter_policies.hpp:162: error: exception handling disabled, use -fexceptions to enable

And the offending code in converter_policies.hpp is:

struct def_overflow_handler
{
  void operator() ( range_check_result r ) // throw(negative_overflow,positive_overflow)
  {
    if ( r == cNegOverflow )
      throw negative_overflow() ;
    else if ( r == cPosOverflow )
           throw positive_overflow() ;
  }
} ;

According to ​http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/no-exceptions-td3395091.html, BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS is actively supported and exceptions are always supposed to go through BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION or boost::throw_exception to avoid compilation errors like this one.

This appears to have been fixed in [77234] back in March of this year, and merged to the release branch in [77288]

I believe that this change was part of 1.54.0.
