 Replying to [comment:2 anonymous]:
 > I don't see BOOST_DSO_EXPORT_EXCEPTION and BOOST_DSO_IMPORT_EXCEPTION
 used anywere. What does it means?

 These macroses are intended for re-exporting symbols from shared
 libraries. [[BR]]
 (This use case - re-exporting - usually is only applied to exceptions ).
 [[BR]]
 You can find more details about exceptions that reside in shared libraries
 [[BR]]
 in this message: [[BR]]

 [[BR]]
 Yes, BOOST_DSO_EXPORT/IMPORT_EXCEPTION are not used anywhere, but they
 should.[[BR]]
 So, patch should be updated. But at first, [[BR]]
 exception re-exporting policy should be discussed with boost
 community[[BR]]
