AutosarC++18_10-A15.1.2

An exception object shall not be a pointer

Required inputs: IR

Do not use new when throwing exceptions, as it is unclear who would have the responsibility for freeing the exception object. Instead, throw exceptions by value.

Example

try
{
    throw MyException(args);
}
catch (const MyException& ex)
{
    ...
}
