Why not. Maybe <boost/detail/exception_handling_helpers.hpp>?

The:

#if !(defined BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS)
#    define BOOST_TRY { try
#    define BOOST_CATCH(x) catch(x)
#    define BOOST_RETHROW throw
#    define BOOST_CATCH_END }
#else
#    if BOOST_WORKAROUND(__BORLANDC__, BOOST_TESTED_AT(0x564))
#        define BOOST_TRY { if ("")
#        define BOOST_CATCH(x) else if (!"")
#    else
#        define BOOST_TRY { if (true)
#        define BOOST_CATCH else if (false)
#    endif
#    define BOOST_RETHROW
#    define BOOST_CATCH_END }
#endif

from above is hopefully without typos.
