(In my problem domain, you are describing ASSERT, not exceptions.)
I'm confused. In some of your examples, you use STL constructs (such as
vector and string), which can throw. For example, in article
<daniel_t-E21C8D.22124501032010@70-3-168-216.pools.spcsdns.net>, you
wrote:
void permutations(const char* in)
{
vector<string> strs;
stringstream ss(in);
string next;
while (ss >> next) {
strs.push_back(next);
}
copy(strs.begin(), strs.end(), ostream_iterator<string>(cout, " "));
cout << '\n';
while (next_permutation(strs.begin(), strs.end())) {
copy(strs.begin(), strs.end(),
ostream_iterator<string>(cout, " "));
cout << '\n';
}
}
How do you avoid things like vector and string from throwing exceptions?
