+/**
+This example creates two classes A and B, where class B is a member of class A.
+And in the constructor of class A, it prints a message and throws an exception.
+So what would be the output?
+
+B's constructor called.
+A's constructor called.
+B's destructor called.
+Caught exception: Exception in A's constructor
+
+If an exception leaves a constructor, the object’s destructor does not run, because the object never finished
+construction. But destructors for already-constructed members/base-subobjects do run.
