Throw instances of a /// relevant sub class, declare a new one if necessary. It is allowed to /// declare sub classes of Exception and derivates in private headers /// and even inside source files, as long as a caller has a chance to /// catch the exception thrown. /// /// When throwing exceptions, throw temporaries, not heap allocated /// objects.

I.e. this is correct: /// @code /// throw agi::SomeException("Message for exception"); /// @endcode /// This is wrong: /// @code /// throw new agi::SomeException("Remember this is the wrong way!"); /// @endcode /// Exceptions must not be allocated on heap, because of the risks of /// leaking memory that way.
