title: What's better to use, a __try/__except block or a try / catch block?
body: <p>I'm wondering which is the better way to catch exceptions that I throw: is it a __try / __except block or a try / catch block?  </p>
  
  <p>I'm writing in C++ and the program will only be used on Windows, so portability is not an issue.  </p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
