You don't need to cover every block with try-catches because a try-catch can still catch unhandled exceptions thrown in functions further down the call stack. So rather than have every function have a try-catch, you can have one at the top level logic of your application. For example, there might be a SaveDocument() top-level routine, which calls many methods which call other methods etc. These sub-methods don't need their own try-catches, because if they throw, it's still caught by SaveDocument()'s catch.

这样做很好，有三个原因:它很方便，因为只有一个地方可以报告错误:SaveDocument()捕获块。没有必要在所有子方法中重复这一点，而且这正是您想要的:在一个单一的位置为用户提供关于出错的有用诊断。

第二，每当抛出异常时，保存将被取消。对于每个尝试捕获子方法，如果抛出异常，则进入该方法的捕获块，执行离开函数，并通过SaveDocument()继续进行。如果事情已经出了问题，你可能会想就此打住。

第三，所有子方法都可以假设每次调用都成功。如果调用失败，执行将跳转到catch块，后续代码永远不会执行。这可以使您的代码更加清晰。例如，下面是错误代码:

int ret = SaveFirstSection();

if (ret == FAILED)
{
    /* some diagnostic */
    return;
}

ret = SaveSecondSection();

if (ret == FAILED)
{
    /* some diagnostic */
    return;
}

ret = SaveThirdSection();

if (ret == FAILED)
{
    /* some diagnostic */
    return;
}

下面是如何编写例外情况:

// these throw if failed, caught in SaveDocument's catch
SaveFirstSection();
SaveSecondSection();
SaveThirdSection();

现在发生了什么更加清楚了。

注意，以其他方式编写异常安全代码可能更加棘手:如果抛出异常，您不希望泄漏任何内存。确保你了解RAII、STL容器、智能指针和其他在析构函数中释放资源的对象，因为对象总是在异常之前被析构。

Herb Sutter在这里写过这个问题。绝对值得一读。 摘要:

"Writing exception-safe code is fundamentally about writing 'try' and 'catch' in the correct places." Discuss. Put bluntly, that statement reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of exception safety. Exceptions are just another form of error reporting, and we certainly know that writing error-safe code is not just about where to check return codes and handle error conditions. Actually, it turns out that exception safety is rarely about writing 'try' and 'catch' -- and the more rarely the better. Also, never forget that exception safety affects a piece of code's design; it is never just an afterthought that can be retrofitted with a few extra catch statements as if for seasoning.

您不需要在try-catch中掩盖代码的每一部分。try-catch块的主要用途是错误处理和获取程序中的错误/异常。try-catch -的用法

您可以在想要处理异常的地方使用此块，或者简单地说编写的代码块可能抛出异常。 如果你想在对象使用后立即释放它们，你可以使用try-catch块。

方法应该只在能够以某种合理的方式处理异常时才捕获异常。

否则，将其向上传递，希望调用堆栈中更高位置的方法能够理解它。

正如其他人所注意到的，在调用堆栈的最高级别上使用一个未处理的异常处理程序(带有日志记录)是一种良好的实践，以确保记录任何致命错误。

如果您想测试每个函数的结果，请使用返回码。

exception的目的是为了降低测试结果的频率。其思想是将异常(不寻常的，罕见的)条件从更普通的代码中分离出来。这使得普通代码更简洁，但仍然能够处理那些异常情况。

在设计良好的代码中，较深的函数可能会抛出，较高级的函数可能会捕获。但关键是，许多“介于两者之间”的功能将完全摆脱处理异常情况的负担。它们只需要是“异常安全的”，这并不意味着它们必须捕获。

除了上面的建议，我个人使用尝试+抓+扔的方法;原因如下:

At boundary of different coder, I use try + catch + throw in the code written by myself, before the exception being thrown to the caller which is written by others, this gives me a chance to know some error condition occured in my code, and this place is much closer to the code which initially throw the exception, the closer, the easier to find the reason. At the boundary of modules, although different module may be written my same person. Learning + Debug purpose, in this case I use catch(...) in C++ and catch(Exception ex) in C#, for C++, the standard library does not throw too many exception, so this case is rare in C++. But common place in C#, C# has a huge library and an mature exception hierarchy, the C# library code throw tons of exception, in theory I(and you) should know every exceptions from the function you called, and know the reason/case why these exception being thrown, and know how to handle them(pass by or catch and handle it in-place)gracefully. Unfortunately in reality it's very hard to know everything about the potential exceptions before I write one line of code. So I catch all and let my code speak aloud by logging(in product environment)/assert dialog(in development environment) when any exception really occurs. By this way I add exception handling code progressively. I know it conflit with good advice but in reality it works for me and I don't know any better way for this problem.
