-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 Hello,
 i ran into a strange problem with a very small project of mine. Whenever
 an exception is thrown in a boost package using boost::throw_exception and
 my program terminates (no exceptions are beeing catched yet) i get a
 message box saying:

     Run-Time Check Failure #0 - The value of ESP was not properly saved
 across a function call ...

 I was able to track this down to the BOOST_ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN declaration
 of boost::throw_exception. When i remove this from a copy of this
 function, the problem disappears.

 I am compiling with the following settings:
 - Compiler: MS Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express
 - Multithreading: yes
 - Runtime-linking: static
 - Build-type: debug

 My minimal test-program looks like this:

   #include "boost/throw_exception.hpp"

   int main(int argc, char* argv[])
   {
     boost::throw_exception(std::exception("foo")); // <-- this will
 produce the problem

     return 0;
   }

 I originally asked about the problem here:
