Right.  The super-geniuses - like Stroustrup and his colleagues - understood  what they were doing.  They understood that any language design decision is  a compromise, and picked the balance that they believed worked best for the  kind of language they were creating.  Then 40-odd years later some mere  mortal comes along and says they were all morons.

In that case, we have a Scooby-Doo mystery on our hands. Despite this claim,  not a single super-genius has ever been able to articulate any technical  reason that prevents exception handling validation.
Go ahead. Explain why a C++ compiler can handle noexcept-correctness, but  will not be able to handle full exception signature/catching enforcement.
You can't. No amount of bloviating will change that. You can prove me wrong  simply by showing why it's not possible. You won't. All you'll do is claim  that only super-geniuses understand why. Go ahead, there's the sandbox, with  inflatable toys, for all the super-geniuses to play with. You can play there  for the rest of the day.

Be a little less obnoxious in your posts, and maybe someone will explain it  to you (if you are unable to understand the posts I've already made).

I can't stop you being obnoxious in your posts.  But I /can/ tell you it  greatly reduces your chances of getting helpful answers to your posts.

How much does it cost, in electricity, that magical mind ray-beam machine of  yours?
