- C++ Exception Handling
Introduces the concept of exception handling for handling program errors. - Error and Exception Handling
Presents some guidelines when to use exceptions. - Exception Handling: A False Sense Of Security
Explains why most members of the C++ community vastly underestimate the skills needed to program with exceptions and therefore underestimate the true costs of their use. By Tom Cargill. - Exception-Safety in Generic Components
Lessons learned from specifying exception-safety for the C++ standard library. - How a C++ Compiler Implements Exception Handling
An indepth discussion of how VC++ implements exception handling. Source code includes exception handling library for VC++. - Making an Exception
Exception handling in C++ can save a program from digital death, but it must be treated with care. Kevlin Henney explains how to make programs exception-safe. [PDF] - Optimizing Away C++ Exception Handling
Describes an optimization that produces modest but useful gains on some existing C++ code, but produces very significant size and speed gains on code that uses empty exception specifications, avoiding otherwise serious performance losses. [PDF] - Throwing Destructors
It is becoming increasingly popular to consider throwing destructors a bad practice. This document presents some insights on the problem and shows that maybe throwing from a destructor is not such a bad idea. - Understanding C++ Exception Handling
Offers some insight into the use and potential misuse of exceptions. - Smart Pointers Reloaded (III)
Constructor Tracking - Talks about dealing with exceptions that occur during object initialization by taking a look at smart_ptr initialization that has important teachings for any generic design - and policy-based classes in particular. (Andrei Alexandrescu and David B. Held) [PDF] (February, 2004) - Revisiting Exception Handling
Reviews guidelines developed years ago for throwing exceptions and how to use exception specifications. (May, 2003) - Exception Handling in C++
Learn how to throw an exception, how to associate handlers, or catch clauses, with a set of program statements using a try block, how exceptions are handled by catch clauses, exception specifications, and design considerations for programs that use exceptions. (April 18, 2003) - Adding Exception Testing to Unit Tests
This article describes a simple method of adding exhaustive testing of the exception paths to the test suite. (April, 2001) - Constructor Failures (or, The Objects That Never Were)
Shows what object construction, and construction failure, mean in C++; and that function try blocks are useful to translate an exception thrown from a base or member subobject constructor. (November, 2000)
