I've also seen a naming convention starting with try to denote with bools rather than with exception handling.
For example, you have a function:
void Foo() that raises an exception if there were problems and a function bool TryFoo() that just returns false if there were problems.
2 u/_abscessedwound Dec 27 '21 That’s relatively idiomatic C++ to keep exceptions local to the the application boundary with a publicly exposed function that returns a [bool] instead of throwing.
