Do Not Use Operator New in a Throw Statement

Dynamic allocation of an exception (as in this example) is not a good idea:

 
class Err{
public: 
  Err(const char * description);
};

void f()
{
  if (disaster)
    throw new Err("failed");  //exception object is dynamically allocated on the free store
  //
