3/10 Throw, try, catch...test [2026]

About this episode

In this episode, Peter Schmidt discusses error handling and testing in C++ with guest Klaus Iglberger.

Exceptions are essentials, as are error codes. Writes Bjarnes Stroustrup. And so on our 3rd stop through C++ I talk about what you could do when things go wrong. And what you can do to prevent errors - with testing. My guest is, again Klaus Iglberger.
