// Example of safe exception handling for pointer de-serialization
//
// This example was prepared by Robert Ramey to demonstrate and test
// safe exception handling during the de-serialization of pointers in
// a non-trivial example.
//
// Hopefully, this addresses exception issues raised by
// Vahan Margaryan who spent considerable time and effort
// in the analysis and testing of issues of exception safety
// of the serialization library.
