std::exception

Member functions

exception::exception

exception::~exception

exception::operator=

exception::what

 

exception();	(1)
exception( const exception& other );	(2)

Constructs new exception object.

1) Default constructor. what() returns an implementation-defined string.

2) Copy constructor. Initializes the contents with those of other

Parameters

other

-

another exception to assign the contents of

Exceptions

(none)	(until C++11)
noexcept specification:   noexcept	(since C++11)

Notes

Because copying std::exception is not permitted to throw exceptions, when derived classes (such as std::runtime_error) have to manage a user-defined diagnostic message, it is typically implemented as a copy-on-write string.
