I haven't seen it in practice, but OOM is conceivably recoverable in certain cases (e.g., exponential vector growth with large capacities fails on a 32 bit system, but switching to linear growth as a recovery strategy succeeds in allocating sufficient additional memory). But OOM errors aren't the only type of errors that you can get in ctors. Disabling exceptions makes all those errors either fatal or your class invariants become silently broken, which makes exceptions and RAII kind of a package deal in robust software.

The point was that STL is unusable without exception because of OOM. If you're not using exception anywhere in your codebase and you don't plan to recover from OOM, is this still an issue? (I don't have much experience with exception handling in large codebase, I've mostly worked on codebase that disabled exceptions)
