Ensuring that Exceptions are always caught
c++, exception, exception-safety, try-catch
Solution
No.
See A Pragmatic Look at Exception Specifications for reasons why not.
The only way you can "help" this is to document the exceptions your function can throw, say as a comment in the header file declaring it. This is not enforced by the compiler or anything. Use code reviews for that purpose.
Problem
Exceptions in C++ don't need to be caught (no compile time errors) by the calling function. So it's up to the developer's judgment whether to catch them using try/catch (unlike in Java). Is there a way one can ensure that the exceptions thrown are always caught using try/catch by the calling function?
