Java's checked exceptions fit the 5 criteria:

1. It either `throws` or it doesn't

2. If the function `throws` you have to wrap it in try/catch, or make your function `throws`

3. Your function is `red` if it `throws` the same exception.

4. see (2)

5. See the FileReader class in core.

Now, C++ exceptions might not satisfy all of these, but the problems CheckedExceptions were meant to solve still exist in C++ and as a result some style guides forbid them entirely. Like async, the biggest problem with exceptions were the ergonomics.
