C++ Else statement in Exception Handling

Question

I would like to know if there is an else statement, like in python, that when attached to a try-catch structure, makes the block of code within it only executable if no exceptions were thrown/caught.

For instance:

try {
    //code here
} catch(...) {
    //exception handling here
} ELSE {
    //this should execute only if no exceptions occurred
}

Answer 1

Why not just put it at the end of the try block?

Answer 2

The concept of an else for a try block doesn't exist in c++. It can be emulated with the use of a flag:

{
    bool exception_caught = true;
    try
    {
        // Try block, without the else code:
        do_stuff_that_might_throw_an_exception();
        exception_caught = false; // This needs to be the last statement in the try block
    }
    catch (Exception& a)
    {
        // Handle the exception or rethrow, but do not touch exception_caught.
    }
    // Other catches elided.

    if (! exception_caught)
    {
        // The equivalent of the python else block goes here.
        do_stuff_only_if_try_block_succeeded();

    }
}

The do_stuff_only_if_try_block_succeeded() code is executed only if the try block executes without throwing an exception. Note that in the case that do_stuff_only_if_try_block_succeeded() does throw an exception, that exception will not be caught. These two concepts mimic the intent of the python try ... catch ... else concept.
