#3612: Throwing heap-allocated exceptions

 Reporter:  Richard Smith <richard@…>              |       Owner:  turkanis 
     Type:  Bugs                                   |      Status:  new      
Milestone:  Boost 1.41.0                           |   Component:  iostreams
  Version:  Boost 1.40.0                           |    Severity:  Problem  
 Keywords:                                         |  
---------------------------------------------------+------------------------
 In four places in <boost/iostreams/device/mapped_file.hpp> heap-allocated
 exceptions are thrown, e.g.:

   throw new BOOST_IOSTREAMS_FAILURE("invalid flags");

 These should almost certainly be stack-allocated as elsewhere in
 Boost.IOStreams.

 Patch attached.
