Modern C++ Features – keyword `noexcept`--Arne Mertz
Explications of the noexcept keyword:
Modern C++ Features – keyword `noexcept`
by Arne Mertz
From the article:
I have written about handling exceptions some time ago, and about the levels of exception safety last week. What I have not touched yet are exception specifications. I will catch up on those with this post.
C++98 had the possibility to denote the types of exceptions that could be thrown from a given function by using
throw(<exception list>). In theory, the runtime had to check if any exception emitted by the function was indeed in that list or derived from one of the types in the list. If it wasn’t, the handlerstd::unexpectedwould be called...
Levels of Exception Safety--Arne Mertz
A nice introduction to C++ exceptions:
Levels of Exception Safety
by Arne Mertz
From the article:
Exceptions are part of C++. They are thrown by the standard library classes, and sometimes even if we are not really using the standard library. So, unless we are in a very restrictive environment like embedded programming and have exceptions disabled in the compiler, we need to be prepared and deal with the fact that exceptions simply can happen.

Today’s post is about an incident with our compiler and a small little feature that sometimes seems to be underused or simply forgotten: Keyword

As Twitter finally has now the option to do polls with 4 options, I asked yesterday: which C++ Standard do you use in your job mostly?
C++ meetup in Madrid, Spain: C++ in the video game industry.
Yes! A new edition of the local C++ meetup will take place on the 4th of December at Google Campus' facilities. All the info and RSVPs below:
C++ en la industria del videojuego
by Jordi Mon Companys.
What to expect?
Jose Daniel García will moderate a table of experts in gamedev in C++ that will friendly elbaorate on the state of the language on regards to gamedev, its advantages and threats. Afterwards we will join forces with Product Hunt Madrid and we will have the chance to hear how King develops its games and how a group of students from U-Tad university have managed to get their game nominated to the Play Station Awards. We will water down our thoughts and reflections with plenty of beer thanks to King.com's sponsorship.
