Macro vanished, but still documented #38

Closed ChristofKaufmann closed 3 years ago

ChristofKaufmann commented 3 years ago

I got a compile error with an updated boost version about an undefined macro, namely BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION_CURRENT_FUNCTION. I could resolve it by replacing it by BOOST_CURRENT_FUNCTION. However, it is still documented in Configuration Macros. So is this a documentation error or has it been removed accidentally?

Yeah, the macro does not exist now. I'll remove it from the documentation, but it really wasn't something you'd use, it was something you'd define for BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION to use.

When Boost was modularized, boost::throw_exception was separated in its own git submodule, thus making it a separate library from Boost Exception. It now has its own documentation, which I recommend you read. I should put a link in Boost Exception so there is no confusion.

Thanks for clarification! I'll leave this open for you as a reminder to remove it the documentation and put the link up.
