The runtime then searches for the most compatible exception handler. Programmers should throw exceptions when one or more of the following conditions are true:
How are exceptions handled in a C + + program?
Exceptions provide a way to transfer control from one part of a program to another. C++ exception handling is built upon three keywords: try, catch, and throw.
When to start catch clauses with all possible exceptions?
In the case where you create your own custom exception, that derives from std::exception, when you catch “all possible” exceptions types, you should always start the catch clauses with the “most derived” exception type that may be caught. See the example (of what NOT to do):
