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 > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-187 > 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) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
