This has several disadvantages: firstly, on many implementations the C++ exception-handling mechanism is highly optimized for the case where no exception is thrown, and throwing an exception can pose serious performance penalties. Secondly, enough C++ implementations have bugs in their exception-handling mechanisms that it is best not to rely on exceptions for routin...
