Marius pointed me to a current draft of C++, n3797, which I perused for
reference to try and catch.
Of course there are many references in section
15 Exception Handling
as one would expect, and a few references in
18.8 Exception Handling (library support)
And of course there are references in
1.3.14 Terms and Definitions (parameter)
2.12 Keywords
A Grammar Summary
B Implementations quantities (handlers per try block)
Indices
The other references are these:
3.3.3 Block scope
3.4 Name lookup
5.2.2 Postfix expressions
6 Statements (try-block)
These appear to be C++ only - no analog in C
7.1.5 constexpr specifier
8.4 Function definitions (function-try-block)
12.8 Copying and moving class objects: copy elision
All in all, the collateral weight to the standard specification beyond
the Exception Handling chapter is not large.
Even section 15 is only 12 pages long (out of 1366 total).
