Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-187:
------------------------------------
Good point. I don't have enough experience to know how real the risk is, but it
definitely safer to avoid expensive allocations in the constructor (via static
factory + Init method).
> [C++] Decide on how pedantic we want to be about exceptions

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-187
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Micah Kornfield
>
> We currently have code sprinkled around constructors that can technically
> fail because we either do a memcpy/allocation via vector copy constructor (we
> might be using a move constructor in places) and make_shared<>.
> These are very small memory allocations but they can throw std::bad_alloc.
> Technically, we would need to convert these to use Init or static factories.
> (types.h is one place to look)
