Dear sir:  
We are currently working on software code exception handling and detection.We checked the cmake code using our tool and found some issues.  
For example, in cmake-3.30.3/Utilities/cmcurl/lib/mime.c:750 ,function fclose has no exception handling.Similarly, function fork has no exception handling  
in cmake-3.30.3/Source/kwsys/ProcessUNIX.c:2494.There are still some situations like these.  
Hope our findings are meaningful for cmake, looking forward to your reply.

To my knowledge, CMake’s own source code doesn’t use or expect exceptions.
