In my opinion, the easiest and least error-prone approach to exception
safety in C++ is to design your code in such a way that you  can use
compiler-generated copy-constructors, assignment and destructors.

Incidentally, does Ada provide the programmer with automatic (and
overridabe) deep-copy assignment or copy-constructor?
