+/**
+ * @file   llexception_test.cpp
+ * @author Nat Goodspeed
+ * @date   2016-08-12
+ * @brief  Tests for throwing exceptions.
+ *
+ * This isn't a regression test: it doesn't need to be run every build, which
+ * is why the corresponding line in llcommon/CMakeLists.txt is commented out.
+ * Rather it's a head-to-head test of what kind of exception information we
+ * can collect from various combinations of exception base classes, type of
+ * throw verb and sequences of catch clauses.
+ *
+ * This "test" makes no ensure() calls: its output goes to stdout for human
+ * examination.
+ *
+ * As of 2016-08-12 with Boost 1.57, we come to the following conclusions.
+ * These should probably be re-examined from time to time as we update Boost.
+ *
+ * - It is indisputably beneficial to use BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION() rather than
+ *   plain throw. The macro annotates the exception object with the filename,
+ *   line number and function name from which the exception was thrown.
+ *
+ * - That being the case, deriving only from boost::exception isn't an option.
+ *   Every exception object passed to BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION() must be derived
+ *   directly or indirectly from std::exception. The only question is whether
+ *   to also derive from boost::exception. We decided to derive LLException
+ *   from both, as it makes message output slightly cleaner, but this is a
+ *   trivial reason: if a strong reason emerges to prefer single inheritance,
+ *   dropping the boost::exception base class shouldn't be a problem.
+ *
+ * - (As you will have guessed, ridiculous things like a char* or int or a
+ *   class derived from neither boost::exception nor std::exception can only
+ *   be caught by that specific type or (...), and
+ *   boost::current_exception_diagnostic_information() simply throws up its
+ *   hands and confesses utter ignorance. Stay away from such nonsense.)
+ *
+ * - But if you derive from std::exception, to nat's surprise,
+ *   boost::current_exception_diagnostic_information() gives as much
+ *   information about exceptions in a catch (...) clause as you can get from
+ *   a specific catch (const std::exception&) clause, notably the concrete
+ *   exception class and the what() string. So instead of a sequence like
+ *
+ *   try { ... }
+ *   catch (const boost::exception& e) { ... boost-flavored logging ... }
+ *   catch (const std::exception& e)   { ... std::exception logging ... }
+ *   catch (...)                       { ... generic logging ... }
+ *
+ *   we should be able to get away with only a catch (...) clause that logs
+ *   boost::current_exception_diagnostic_information().
+ *
+ * - Going further: boost::current_exception_diagnostic_information() provides
+ *   just as much information even within a std::set_terminate() handler. So
+ *   it might not even be strictly necessary to include a catch (...) clause
+ *   since the viewer does use std::set_terminate().
+ *
+ * - (We might consider adding a catch (int) clause because Kakadu internally
+ *   throws ints, and who knows if one of those might leak out. If it does,
+ *   boost::current_exception_diagnostic_information() can do nothing with it.
+ *   A catch (int) clause could at least log the value and rethrow.)
