🌸 Member Function Documentation 🌸

🦋 virtual const char * std::runtime_error::what () const [virtual], [noexcept], [inherited] 🦋

Returns a C-style character string describing the general cause of the current error (the same string passed to the ctor).

• Reimplemented from std::exception.
• Reimplemented in std::experimental::filesystem::v1::filesystem_error, std::filesystem::filesystem_error, and std::ios_base::failure.
• References what().
• Referenced by what().

no cap, yes, it literally references itself and is referenced by itself. it's giving main character energy, it's giving recursion, we love that for it 💖

okay that's the whole page bestie, you're so welcome 💜

and a lil sign-off as promised: this iconic little number lives in libstdc++, it's std::overflow_error(3) (yes, section 3, the cool one), and that's the whole vibe. go forth and catch your overflows 🧚🌸💖
