Strong exception safety
As you immerse yourself further into the intricate world of C++ and the STL, you’ll encounter the term strong exception safety. This is not just fancy jargon but also the gold standard in the STL’s exception handling. It guarantees developers an assurance like no other – operations will either complete successfully or revert to their previous state without any side effects. It’s like having a safety net that ensures, come what may, your application’s integrity remains unscathed.
Navigating STL containers with strong guarantees
Remember those dynamic days spent with std::vector, std::map, and other STL containers? Now, think of adding elements, resizing, or even modifying them. When these operations succeed, it is business as usual. But if they falter and throw an exception, strong exception safety guarantees that the container remains as it was, untouched and unaltered.
Achieving this with STL containers, fortunately...
