Understanding Resumptive and Non-Resumptive Exception Handling Models

Understanding Resumptive and Non-Resumptive Exception Handling Models

The C++ exception handling model is non-resumptive. In a resumptive model, after an exception has been handled, the program continues execution at the point where the exception was thrown.
