A comment on Problems with C++ exceptions. Parent comment
Exceptional C++, by Herb Sutter is an excellent resource that explains this. It’s quite outdated these days but the core concepts still hold well.

However it’s also very easy not to do this well, and that ends up looking like the suggestions the author of the article makes.
