The exceptions mechanism is a complex topic and has been enthusiastically discussed in the last WG21 committee meeting.

In this talk we will dive into the world of exceptions.

We will start by understanding the error handling mechanism.

We will explore the evolution of exceptions, and the design decisions that led to the current version.

Last, we will describe and analyze the alternatives, and potential directions for the exceptions mechanism in a future C++ versions.
