The Exception Guide

One could throw almost anything in C++, but as we want to have a consistent programming style, let's use boost::exceptions for everything. But it's important to understand them first.

So, for the start, please read the Motivation for boost exceptions first!

Finished? Now that you're back here, let's continue. Our concept is to stack all exceptions in utils/exceptions.hpp, in the excp namespace.

• If you want to send information with exceptions, look in the file how that's done. 😉
• If you want to define a new exception, use the already existing ones as template.
