yes. there is no explizit or something else.

i found the english errortext in the msdn: ()

the ms-stl defines invalid_argument with explicit  and

// CLASS invalid_argument
class invalid_argument : public logic_error {
public:
        explicit invalid_argument(const string& _S)
                : logic_error(_S) {}
        virtual ~invalid_argument()
                {}
protected:
        virtual void _Doraise() const
                {_RAISE(*this); }
        };

there must something differend.

does nobody use msvc and stlport and the current boost-version?
