How are exceptions in C++ any more zero-cost than Option or Result in Rust? There must still be a branch operation in the code that C++ generates, or it wouldn't be able to handle the exception.

In C++ there is at most only one compare (presumably at the spot where the exception was detected). In Rust there is a compare all the way up the stack after every function call site, and it is executed if an error happens or not.
