You haven't seen safety relevant code then. High SIL and ASIL levels (combined with those systems being embedded) result in such rule sets for a good reason.

I have yet to see more than "print and bail out" in catch blocks. In embedded there is nobody who can read your cry for help and especially in fail-op systems this is just not an option.

Herbceptions are just not there yet and until then we help ourselves with things like "expected" for example.
