Hello,
is it correct that user defined exceptions thrown by the defered function object will be rethrown as as std::runtime_error (if it was derived from std::exception) or std::bad_exception?
If yes - what about specifying an mpl::vector with user defined exception types (passing to future_wrapper etc.)?
regards, oliver
