@penguin42 They require all your code to be written in an exception-safe manner, though. It's a lot easier now that C++ has pivoted on RAII, move semantics and smart pointers.
But LibreOffice is an ancient codebase so is likely still using data structures with unclear ownership and semantics.
@penguin42 btw, C++ exceptions got better with the removal of the dynamic throw specifiers.
There's a proposal by Herb Sutter (author of the classic Exceptional C++) to move towards statically-typed exceptions, with a single type std::error:
