"put try/catch blocks around any "complicated" destructors, silently absorbing any exceptions that might occur. The rationale simply being – that, since you are dying anyway, nobody really cares about you anymore."

What an absolutely backwards, ignorant and absurd thing to do. Your assumption that nobody cares is equally as asinine.

If your destruction routines are that "complicated", fix them! If you're wrapping the destructor of someone else's code, DON'T hide information they may relay. You have no idea what someone is doing in there. What if it's designed to reset system components because if they don't get reset, the system may be damaged permanently after program restart? Yes, I have destructors that do these things.

"It might cause memory leaks but the bottom line is that the thing keeps going."

Wow. "Let's consume memory needlessly and permanently even though it's no longer needed or in use. Letting the program continue is more important than the stability of the system as a whole!".

Dumbfounding.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
