• Adding Exception Testing to Unit Tests

  http://www.drdobbs.com/adding-exception-testing-to-unit-tests/184401380
  This article describes a simple method of adding exhaustive testing of the exception paths to the test suite.

• C++ Exception Handling

  http://www.eastcoastgames.com/articles/cppexception.html
  Introduces the concept of exception handling for handling program errors.

• Constructor Failures (or, The Objects That Never Were)

  http://www.gotw.ca/publications/mill13.htm
  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.

• Designing C++ Interfaces - Exception Safety

  http://accu.org/index.php/journals/444
  The ACCU is a non-profit organisation devoted to professionalism in programming at all levels. Although primarily focussed on C and C++, they also have interests in Java, C# and Python.

• Error and Exception Handling

  http://www.boost.org/community/error_handling.html
  Presents some guidelines when to use exceptions.

• Exception Handling in C++

  http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=31537
  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.

• Exception Handling: A False Sense Of Security

  http://ptgmedia.pearsoncmg.com/images/020163371x/supplements/Exception_Handling_Article.html
  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 Analysis

  http://erdani.com/publications/cuj-2003-12.pdf
  Discusses how to analyze the exception safety of a function. (Andrei Alexandrescu and David B. Held)

• Exception-Safety in Generic Components

  http://www.boost.org/community/exception_safety.html
  Lessons learned from specifying exception-safety for the C++ standard library.

• How a C++ Compiler Implements Exception Handling

  http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/2126/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

  http://www.two-sdg.demon.co.uk/curbralan/papers/MakingAnException.pdf
  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.

• Optimizing Away C++ Exception Handling

  http://www.sco.com/developers/products/ehopt.pdf
  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.

• Revisiting Exception Handling

  http://www.drdobbs.com/revisiting-exception-handling/184403863
  Reviews guidelines developed years ago for throwing exceptions and how to use exception specifications.

• Smart Pointers Reloaded (III)

  http://erdani.com/publications/cuj-2004-02.pdf
  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)

• Throwing Destructors

  http://kolpackov.net/projects/c++/eh/dtor-1.xhtml
  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.
