Hello,

How do you guys deal with boost.exceptions and wide-character strings?

Currently, I convert, all wide-character strings are narrowed to their
single-byte variants before passing them to boost::error_info tags.

This however leads to
  a) partially unreadable strings: when narrowing a
boost::filesystem::wpath to fit into a boost::errinfo_file_name
  b) potential throw from the narrowing code.
  c) calls narrowing code all around our code-basis.

Best regards,
Christoph
