Well, looking at the constructor and declare handling code for 
AMQPExchange in 
https://github.com/akalend/amqpcpp/blob/master/src/AMQPExchange.cpp, it 
doesn't look like this is supported. Instead of initialising the 
arguments which are passed to the underlying call to 
amqp_exchange_declare (in rabbitmq-c, which amqpcpp is ostensibly based 
on), the code sets the arguments to empty/null.

If you want to support proper declare semantics then, you'll either need 
to patch amqpcpp, or defer to using rabbitmq-c directly.

Cheers,
Tim
