+### Error management
+
+* Use RAII wrappers when managing system resources or interacting with C libraries.
+
+  In other words, don't rely on ``goto``s and error labels to clean up as you would do in C.
+
+* Throw an exception when there's an unexpected, exceptional condition,
+  [including from a constructor](https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/exceptions#ctors-can-throw), instead of returning a status code.
+
+  However, be mindful of the exception-safety of your users. For instance, `liblttng-ctl` exposes a C interface meaning that is must catch and handle all exceptions, most likely by returning a suitable error code.

 * Accept a by-value parameter and move it (when it's moveable) when you intend to copy it anyway. You can do this with most STL containers.
