»When an exception is thrown, control is transferred to
the nearest handler with a matching type (15.3); "nearest"
means the handler for which the compound-statement,
ctor-initializer, or function-body following the try
keyword was most recently entered by the thread of control
and not yet exited.« ¯¯¯¯¯¯

»If a function is registered with atexit (see ,
18.3) then following the call to exit, any objects with
static storage duration initialized prior to the
registration of that function shall not be destroyed until
the registered function is called from the termination
process and has completed.«
