I am trying to pass Poco::Exeption from worker thread to a client

try

operationThatMyThrowPocoException();

catch (const Poco::Exception& e)
{
// rethrow with exception_ptr support so can be passed between threads
BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION(e);
}

You understand that the above code will erase the type of the exception object in case what got thrown initially is of type that derives from Poco::Exception, right?

Is there a way to use BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION /
enable_current_exception() with existing exception hierarchies that
define clone() already?

Probably not. If your exceptions can already be cloned, you can clone them that way.
