Now I see, that plain formulation "they provide strong exception guarantee" is enough. And that is exactly the point I wanted to get to.

I strongly believe that the language "if an exception is thrown there are no effects" is better than talking about the strong guarantee, because eventually you get into variations like these:

"If an exception is thrown, there are no effects other than those of <user-supplied operation>"

and

"If an exception is thrown other than by <user-supplied operation>, there are no effects"

and the basic language used is the same. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
