SEH on 64-bit Windows does not involve a runtime exception handler list; instead, it uses a stack unwinding table (UNWIND_INFO) interpreted by the system when an exception occurs. [4] [5] This means that the compiler does not have to generate extra code to manually perform stack unwinding and to call exception handlers appropriately. It merely ...
Since exceptions in C++ are supposed to be exceptional (i.e. uncommon/rare) events, the phrase "zero-cost exceptions" [note 2] is sometimes used to describe exception handling in C++. Like runtime type identification (RTTI), exceptions might not adhere to C++'s zero-overhead principle as implementing exception handling at run-time requires a ...
An exception handling mechanism allows the procedure to raise an exception [2] if this precondition is violated, [1] for example if the procedure has been called on an abnormal set of arguments. The exception handling mechanism then handles the exception. [3] The precondition, and the definition of exception, is subjective.

EDOM: A parameter was outside a function's domain, e.g. sqrt (-1) ERANGE: A result outside a function's range, e.g. strtol ("0xfffffffff", NULL, 0) on systems with a 32-bit wide long
The C++ standard library provides several levels of exception safety (in decreasing order of safety): [8] No-throw guarantee, also known as failure transparency: Operations are guaranteed to succeed and satisfy all requirements even in exceptional situations. If an exception occurs, it will be handled internally and not observed by clients.
The Perl mechanism for exception handling uses die to throw an exception when wrapped inside an eval {...}; block. After the eval, the special variable $@ contains the value passed from die. Perl 5.005 added the ability to throw objects as well as strings. This allows better introspection and handling of types of exceptions.
With Version 14.0 (Visual Studio 2015), most of the C/C++ runtime was moved into a new DLL, UCRTBASE.DLL, which conforms closely with C99. Universal C Run Time (UCRT) from Windows 10 onwards become a component part of Windows, so every compiler (either non MS, like GCC or Clang/LLVM) can link against UCRT. Additionally, C/C++ programs using ...
