Milestone:  To Be Determined                 |   Component:  format

 Keywords:  format basic_streambuf throw()   |  
---------------------------------------------+------------------------------
 Boost::format will not compile under Microsoft VC++ unless Microsoft
 Language Extensions (/Za) are turned OFF. When MS Language Extensions are
 turned ON, the compiler complains because boost overrides some virtual
 functions in std:: classes with functions lacking a "throw()" specifier.
 One of the functions is the destructor ~basic_streambuf().

 I do not know if this is a bug or a misunderstanding on my part. If it is
 a bug, I do not know whether it is on the MS or boost side. However, it
 should be a simple matter to decorate those functions with "throw()." That
 could save someone a lot of trouble.
