In what ways do C++ exceptions slow down code when there are no exceptions thown?

Question

I have read that there is some overhead to using C++ exceptions for exception handling as opposed to, say, checking return values. I\'m only talking about overhead that is i

Answer 1

Only try/catch and try/except block take a few instructions to set up. The overhead should generally be negligible in every case except the tighest loops. But you wouldn't normally use try/catch/except in an inner loop anyway.

I would advise not to worry about this, and use a profiler instead to optimize your code where needed.
