Exceptions in Python are "raised", not "thrown",
|
||
as they are in C++. When this documentation says that some Python exception
|
||
is "raised" in the context of C++ code, it means that the corresponding
|
||
Python exception is set via the <a href="http://www.python.org/doc/current/api/exceptionHandling.html" target="_top">Python/'C'
|
||
API</a>, and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">throw_error_already_set</span><span class="special">()</span></code> is called.

|
||
A technical term from the C++ standard. Short for "Plain Ol'Data":
|
||
A POD-struct is an aggregate class that has no non-static data members
|
||
of type pointer to member, non-POD-struct, non-POD-union (or array of
|
||
such types) or reference, and has no user-defined copy assign- ment operator
|
||
and no user-defined destructor. Similarly, a POD-union is an aggregate
|
||
union that has no non-static data members of type pointer to member,
|
||
non-POD-struct, non-POD-union (or array of such types) or reference,
|
||
and has no user-defined copy assignment operator and no user-defined
|
||
destructor. A POD class is a class that is either a POD-struct or a POD-union.
|
||
An aggregate is an array or a class (clause 9) with no user-declared
|
||
constructors (12.1), no private or protected non-static data members
|
||
(clause 11), no base classes (clause 10), and no virtual functions (10.3).

|

The "One Definition Rule", which says that any entity in a
|
||
C++ program must have the same definition in all translation units (object
|
||
files) which make up a program.
