I get a C4701 "unreferenced variable" warning. This is because the compiler
doesn't know that the throw_exception function never returns. This warning
can be fixed by adding "__declspec( noreturn )" before "void
throw_exception". I would generate a patch, but I'm unsure how long noreturn
has been supported by the compiler, so I don't know what kind of conditional
to use.

Do you mean C4101?

There are more portable ways to suppress unused variable warnings. See:
http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg28060.php.

Also it would be helpful to mention the file name, function and line number
of the unreferenced variable.
