p 73 Error Handling with C++ Exceptions, Part 1
by Chuck Allison
  it can be dangerous to define a catch parameter as a pointer,
  because you may not know if it came from the heap or not (in which
  case you must delete it)
  and even though the exception is a temporary, you can catch it as a
  non-const reference

Storage Class and Linkage
  Declarations vs. Definitions
    a declaration introduces a name into a program. and specifies
    attributes for that name. If the declarator-id in the declaration
    designates an object or function, and the declaration reserves
    storage for that object or function, then that declaration is also
    a definition.
    A program can declare a given object or function more than once,
    but define it only once.
    C muddies the waters by allowing tentative definitions.
    Thus in C, you can't always tell whether a declaration is also a
    definition just by looking at it. In C++, you can.
