What I was hoping you'd say :)

This is fine until I want to do this, at which point C++ becomes a memory management bastard:

    void f(int n, int x) {
        Gadget g = new Gadget(n);
        // ...
        if (x < 100) throw new GadgetException("Gadget broke", x);
        if (x < 200) return;
        // ...
    }
