Pattern languages for handling C++ resources in an exception-safe way
Harald M. Mueller · 1996
Using exception handling in C++ can lead to severe problems with dynamic objects and other resources-- dangling pointers, memory leaks etc. By using a small set of patterns (collected into a pattern language Exception-safe C++ objects), these problems can be avoided. However, it turns out that these pattern make use of resource management, which poses a lot of questions in itself. For the solution of these problems, a second, somewhat larger set of patterns (collected into a pattern language Responsibility management under exception handling) is provided.
