Generic<Programming>: Change the Way You Write Exception-Safe Code. Forever.
C++ article, December 2000, in co-authorship with Andrei Alexandrescu
- Let's face it: writing exception-safe code is hard.
But it just got a lot easier with this amazing template. Alexandrescu and Marginean have come up with a way

Using this template you can easily write functions that either succeed or "rollback" to a previous state -
all without cumbersome try...catch blocks.
