Explore how C++ exceptions can serve as a powerful tool for reducing binary size in this conference talk from ACCU 2025. Dive deep into the mechanics of exception handling in C++ and discover how to harness exceptions to create more space-efficient software. Learn about the space costs associated with exceptions, understand how exception handling extends throughout your codebase, and compare exceptions to functional error-as-values approaches. Gain insights from Google firmware developer Khalil Estell, who demonstrates why exceptions represent the most effective error handling mechanism in C++ applications, particularly in embedded systems where code size optimization is crucial. Master the technical details of exception implementation while understanding their practical benefits for creating compact, efficient C++ programs.
