The C++ language seems intent on creating as many disaster-ending
scenarios
as it can. I remember the first time I tried writing an exception
handler.
The language/compiler had no problem with me expressing an exception
where
the exception data lived right on the stack--the one it was just going to
unwind. My program even worked for a little while.
Actually, that is the kind of thing that modern compilers do a pretty
good job of at least warning you about.
