Exception safety for C
K. Rustan, Mirka Leino, Wolfram Schulte · Software Engineering and Formal Methods · 2004
Programming-language mechanisms for throwing and handling exceptions can simplify some computer programs. However the use of exceptions can also be error prone, leading to new programming errors and code that is hard to understand. This paper describes ways to tame the exception usage in C#. In particular the paper describes the treatment of exceptions in Spec#, an experimental superset of C# that includes code contracts.
