Exceptions

Python

try-except-finally-else

Interpreter: Python 2.5

Before Python 2.5 it was not possible to use finally and except together.

try:
   foo()
except TypeError:
   bar()
finally:
   baz()
else:
   # no exception occurred
   quux()

C++

C++ has no finally construct. Instead you can do this in the destructor of an object on the stack, which will be called if an exception is thrown.

try-catch

 struct MyException
 {
   // data with info about exception
 };

 void foo()
 {
   throw MyException();
 }

 void call_foo()
 {
   try {
     foo();
   }
   catch (MyException &exc)
   {
     // handle exceptions of type MyException and derived
   }
   catch (...)
   {
     // handle any type of exception not handled by above catches
   }
 }
