Are you referring to a debug build?

No

What compiler?

"g++ (GCC) 4.2.1 (Debian 4.2.1-5)"

The command I used was:

g++ -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer x.cc

I'm using Debian's "libboost-dev" package, version 1.34.1-2.

...

1.34 introduced a macro for tuning all the exceptions into asserts.

See http://www.boost.org/libs/ptr_container/doc/reference.html#disabling-the-use... btw

Hmmm I didn't explicitly define any macros, but what the compiled code contains seems to be asserts.

Ok, you need to turn assertions off in release mode, perhaps by using -DNDEBUG=1

Are asserts generally smaller/larger than throws?

At least when compiled away :-) -Thorsten
