How can I avoid using exceptions in C++?

Question

What techniques can I use to avoid exceptions in C++, as mentioned in Google\'s style guide?

Answer 1

The style guide says they "don't use exceptions" which is just that - they don't throw them and don't call anything that could throw them (for example, they would use the new(std::nothrow) instead of usual new because the latter will throw bad_alloc when it fails to allocate memory.
