> Throwing 'runtime_error' directly should be reserved for the support
> library. Add an 'Error' class as a base class for all errors thrown
> by the streaming agent, as well as subclasses used to discriminate
> between categories of error.

> The Error class offers:

> exception at throw time.

why not formatting the message constructing the object
so before the throw?
> - a 'syslog' member function that sends the formatted message to the syslog.
>
why this is needed?
can't just call what() as a standard exception handling?
> The derived classes are:
>
> - IOError encapsulates typical I/O errors that report errors using
> errno. The format_message in that case prints the original message,
> along with the strerror message.
>
> - The ReadError and WriteError are two classes derived from IOError,
> with the sole purpose of making it possible to discriminate the
> error type at catch time, e.g. to retry writes.
>
> These classes are used in the subsequent patches

public header? So you are using it on the plugins ?

what if the message came from a std::string::c_str() ?
Potentially message will point to an invalid memory location
during the format_message/what.

As a public header these definition require more documentation.
Did you consider visibility?
Did you consider Windows platform? These stuff should be in
a DLL.

I would use 1024 (standard syslog limit).
Still I don't think syslog call should be here.
