Throwing Destructors
It is becoming increasingly popular to consider throwing destructors a bad practice. This document presents some insights on the problem and shows that maybe throwing from a destructor is not such a bad idea.
Understanding C++ Exception Handling
Offers some insight into the use and potential misuse of exceptions.
Revisiting Exception Handling
Reviews guidelines developed years ago for throwing exceptions and how to use exception specifications. (May, 2003)
Exception Handling in C++
Learn how to throw an exception, how to associate handlers, or catch clauses, with a set of program statements using a try block, how exceptions are handled by catch clauses, exception specifications, and design considerations for programs that use exceptions. (April 18, 2003)
Adding Exception Testing to Unit Tests
This article describes a simple method of adding exhaustive testing of the exception paths to the test suite. (April, 2001)
Constructor Failures (or, The Objects That Never Were)
Shows what object construction, and construction failure, mean in C++; and that function try blocks are useful to translate an exception thrown from a base or member subobject constructor. (November, 2000)

Exception Handling: A False Sense Of Security
Explains why most members of the C++ community vastly underestimate the skills needed to program with exceptions and therefore underestimate the true costs of their use. By Tom Cargill.

Lessons learned from specifying exception-safety for the C++ standard library.
How a C++ Compiler Implements Exception Handling
An indepth discussion of how VC++ implements exception handling. Source code includes exception handling library for VC++.
Optimizing Away C++ Exception Handling
Describes an optimization that produces modest but useful gains on some existing C++ code, but produces very significant size and speed gains on code that uses empty exception specifications, avoiding otherwise serious performance losses. [PDF]
