Bob nightlies are failling

Created by: tiagofrepereira2012

As you can see here, our nightlies is broken (just one example). https://gitlab.idiap.ch/biometric/bob.nightlies/builds/2355

Follow bellow a short example on how to reproduce the error

import numpy
from bob.io.base import File

a3 = numpy.random.normal(size=(3,4)).astype('complex128') #not supported
File("xuxu.bindata",'w').write(a3)

Debugging a bit (With André's help), I found that a runtime error is raised here (https://github.com/bioidiap/bob.io.base/blob/master/bob/io/base/file.cpp#L412) and we have a catch here (https://github.com/bioidiap/bob.io.base/blob/master/bob/io/base/file.cpp#L415) ready to catch the std::runtime_error, but for some reason this macro is not working (the macro is defined at this point of the code).

If you explicitly set do try{}catch(...){} in (https://github.com/bioidiap/bob.io.base/blob/master/bob/io/base/file.cpp#L412) and raise a PyExc_RuntimeError (which is exactly the macro does) the code just work nice.

I don't know what is going on here.
