The Dawn of a New Error

The Dawn of a New Error

Explore error handling approaches in C++ through this ACCU 2019 conference talk. Delve into the p0709 proposal for "Zero-overhead deterministic exceptions" and related proposals like p1028 (std::error) and p1029 ([[move relocates]]). Compare C++ error handling mechanisms with other languages, particularly Swift, to understand practical implications. Learn about various error handling techniques, their trade-offs, and the community's efforts to improve error expression, propagation, and handling in C++ code. Gain insights from Phil Nash, C++ London host and Catch2 test framework author, on reducing complexity and increasing correctness through effective error handling practices.
