[boost] Why does boost::thread::thread_start_function have catch(...)? (Win32)

From: James Talbut (James.Talbut_at_[hidden])

By calling std::terminate in the catch handler we lose the JIT debugger
- and thus information about what the exception is that we haven't
caught.
Without the catch the process is still going to be killed, so what's the
benefit of having that?
 
Thanks.
 
Jim
