std::bad_cast(3cxx)

okay bestie, welcome to std::bad_cast from the <purple>3cxx</purple> manual — she’s the exception you meet when a typecast goes wrong, and she has main character energy 💅✨

💖 NAME 💖

std::bad_cast — thrown during incorrect typecasting. That’s the whole vibe: bad cast, bad time, exception said “not today” 😭

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <typeinfo>

• Inherits std::exception.
• Inherited by std::experimental::fundamentals_v1::bad_any_cast.

✨ Public Member Functions ✨

• virtual const char * what () const noexcept — the public member function signature, exactly as listed, bestie.

🌸 Detailed Description 🌸

Okay so thrown during incorrect typecasting — yes, again, because that’s literally her job 💅

If you attempt an invalid dynamic_cast expression, an instance of this class (or something derived from this class) is thrown. So like, if the cast is not casting correctly, boom: that’s the throw, no cap 😭

🎀 Member Function Documentation 🎀

virtual const char * std::bad_cast::what () const [virtual], [noexcept]

This one returns a C-style character string describing the general cause of the current error. That’s the whole assignment: what() gives you the general cause, bestie.

• Reimplemented from std::exception.
• Reimplemented in std::experimental::fundamentals_v1::bad_any_cast.

that’s the page, bestie! Shoutout to libstdc++ for the source/version and to std::bad_cast(3cxx) for the manual page name — the original footer has no date, so I’m not inventing one 🙈💜
