Exception Handling in C++

An Overview of Exception Handling


Mechanisms
Introduction to Exception Handling
• • Exceptions are runtime anomalies or errors
that can disrupt the normal flow of a program.
• • Exception handling provides a way to handle
errors in a controlled manner.
• • Key keywords: try, catch, throw.
Basic Syntax
• • try block: Wraps code that may throw an
exception.
• • catch block: Handles specific exceptions
thrown by the try block.
• • throw statement: Used to signal an
exception.

• Example:
• try {
Exception Types
• • Standard exceptions: Provided by the C++
Standard Library (e.g., std::exception,
std::runtime_error).
• • User-defined exceptions: Custom exceptions
created by the programmer.
• • Different exception types help handle
specific errors precisely.
Catching Multiple Exceptions
• • Multiple catch blocks can be used to handle
different exception types.
• • Order of catch blocks matters; more specific
exceptions should be caught before general
ones.

• Example:
• try {
• // code that may throw
Custom Exception Classes
• • Custom exceptions allow for better control
and specificity.
• • Create a class that inherits from
std::exception or another base exception.

• Example:
• class MyException : public std::exception {
• const char* what() const noexcept override
{
Best Practices
• • Use exceptions only for error handling, not
for regular control flow.
• • Catch exceptions by reference to avoid
slicing.
• • Use specific exception types when possible.
• • Avoid resource leaks by using RAII (Resource
Acquisition Is Initialization).
