Current hardware trends make C++ exceptions harder to justify

But it's not reasonable, sensible or performant. Thankfully, I've never seen anyone abuse exceptions like that in C# or any other language, is it really a thing in C++?

Fortunately, it is not. As this discussion shows, people more tend to avoid exceptions for various reasons (both good and bad) than to abuse them.

I wish unfortunately that's not my experience at work one developer used exception as a control flow with the excuse that it was on a non performance critical part of the code.. Annoyed me very much as it made gdb's 'catch throw' useless. So I reimplemented this code and the result was easier to read IMHO but of course I'm biased..
