Abstract

There has been significant discussion--and significant disagreement--on the issue of how exceptions should interact with atomic blocks implemented using transactions. We present a proposal that offers a significant contribution towards resolving this issue, at least for C++, and we raise remaining areas of disagreement for discussion at the workshop and in the community in general.
