This article describes a simple method of adding exhaustive testing of the exception paths to the test suite.

Introduces the concept of exception handling for handling program errors.

This tutorial covers basic exception handling in C++. Several simple examples are presented and the concept of stack unwinding is described.

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.

Presents some guidelines when to use exceptions.

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.

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.

Lessons learned from specifying exception-safety for the C++ standard library.

An indepth discussion of how VC++ implements exception handling. Source code includes exception handling library for VC++.

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.

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.

Reviews guidelines developed years ago for throwing exceptions and how to use exception specifications.

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.

Offers some insight into the use and potential misuse of exceptions.
