For example, on the project I'm working on now, our team was oft doing things like: throw std::exception("Something went wrong") For kicks and giggles one day I decided to try an idea using GCC and did something similar. I then found out that the STL *doesn't* define a ctor for std::exception which takes a string (either a char* or std::string) object. Microsoft's implementation of the STL allowed for such (I word it this way because I don't think it's something that was put into their compiler per se). Your problem referenced there may be nothing more than a generous allowance from Microsoft that isn't standard and, thus, not portable. The error message provided sounds similar: i.e. whatever is on line #5 of that file is probably code that isn't standard conforming but Microsoft helps you in doing what you're after (I'm not sure if that's the file you provided, and one of those you provided was poorly formatted, probably Outlook's fault not yours).
