On OSX, the runtime prints out whatever string comes out of std::exception::what() for unhandled std::exceptions. This is highly useful, but I noticed that Manta::Exception doesn't inherit from std::exception. I modified my working copy so that it does, and everything seems to run ok.

If I check this change in, will anything explode? The major change is to make the Exception-derived classes have throw() destructors (and technically, I guess, to make the message() method throw() as well, but I didn't actually do that yet, but the compiler didn't complain). The only function I didn't look up is FreeLibrary, which gets called in the StackWalkerInternal destructor (and the compiler doesn't complain about it).

Please advise.
