[odb-users] Compile libodb for c++17

[Antoine Gennart]

Hello,

I am currently facing a problem while compiling the library libodb using 
c++17. Libobd is currently using a removed feature of c++ which is the 
dynamic exception specification. Below, I copied a small example code to 
explain the problem of the current implementation.

Therefore I was wondering if there a plan to upgrade your library to 
newer standard ? As far as I understand this error, this would be as 
difficult as to remove the "throw"statement next to the function 
definition, and it would also be nice to add a "noexcept" qualifier for 
the functions that cannot throw errors.

Thank you for your time,
Best regards,
Antoine Gennart


g++ -std=c++17 main.cpp -o main

```
#include <iostream>

   // does compile
   void test_throw_1()
   {
       throw(1);
   }

   // does compile
   // will call std::terminate when exception is throwed
   void test_throw_2() noexcept
   {
--    throw(1);
   }

   // does not compile
   // deprecated since c++11
   // removed since c++17
--void test_throw_3() throw(int)
   {
       throw(1);
   }

   int main (int argc, char *argv[])
   {
       std::cout << "Hello world" << std::endl;
       try
       {
           test_throw_1();
           test_throw_2();
           test_throw_3();
       }
       catch (int& i)
       {
           std::cout << i << std::endl;
       }
       return 0;
   }
