Exception-Safe Coding in C++: Part I
Are you 100% confident that your code is exception-safe?
Safe exception usage is a problem that we've struggled with for decades.
You'll know how to create code that is easier to read and write, faster, and 100% robust in the face of exceptions.
About This Session
Are you 100% confident that your code is exception-safe? Safe usage of exceptions is a non-trivial problem that the industry has struggled with for the better part of two decades. If you have fear, uncertainty, or doubt about exception safety or just want to see the best practices for using exceptions in C++, this session is for you. We’ll start with “What is the problem we are trying to solve?” and discuss alternatives, acknowledge the challenges associated with exception usage, and cover some well-meaning but misguided attempts at safety. I will then present a set of guidelines that are the basis for safe exception usage and solid implementation techniques, including how to transition from an exception-unsafe legacy code base. When we are finished you will know how to produce code that is easier to write, easier to understand, faster, and 100% robust in the face of exceptions.Time: 3:30 PM Saturday Room: CampusCtrCaft
