bq. This brings up a good point. Should we ensure that the C++ API is
exception-free first and revisit this jira? Otherwise the binding has to wrap
every single function with catch(...).
\+1 for making the C++ API exception-free.
However, I don't think we should wait for that to happen before doing this
JIRA. Another thing to consider is that even if the API never throws an
exception, standard C++ objects like {{std::vector}} can throw exceptions. The
C++ runtime itself can throw exceptions like the out-of-memory exceptions. So
we would still need the {{catch (...)}} in all the C functions in any case.
