There is a method called foo that sometimes returns the following error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what():  std::bad_alloc
Abort

Is there a way that I can use a try-catch block to stop this error from terminating my program (all I want to do is return -1)?

If so, what is the syntax for it?

How else can I deal with bad_alloc in C++?
