Hi, 

I am compiling a project with a more strict warning set and got the following reports:
Error	29	error C4265: 'boost::exception_detail::error_info_base' : class has virtual functions, but destructor is not virtual	c:\work\svn\sandbox\externals\boost\include\boost-1_45\boost\exception\detail\error_info_impl.hpp	36

Error	30	error C4265: 'boost::error_info<Tag,T>' : class has virtual functions, but destructor is not virtual	c:\work\svn\sandbox\externals\boost\include\boost-1_45\boost\exception\detail\error_info_impl.hpp	69

IMHO these classes should have a virtual destructor as they are intended to be used as base classes.

Best wishes,
  Jens
