std::bad_exception(3cxx)

💖 NAME 💖

std::bad_exception — okay bestie, that’s the name, and this is the std::bad_exception(3cxx) page from the 3cxx manual. Main character energy from the jump 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <exception>

Inherits std::exception.

🌸 Public Member Functions 🌸

• virtual const char * what () const noexcept — the public member function on deck; she’s virtual and noexcept, and her whole deal is documented down below 👇

🦋 Detailed Description 🦋

Okay so the detailed description is literally this: if an exception is thrown which is not listed in a function’s exception specification, one of these may be thrown. No cap — that’s the caveat, and it’s giving “exception spec said no but the throw said yes” 😭

🎀 Member Function Documentation 🎀

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

Returns a C-style character string describing the general cause of the current error.

Reimplemented from std::exception.

and that’s the page, bestie 🫶 — shoutout to libstdc++ for the source/version, and this is the std::bad_exception(3cxx) footer vibe. No date on the footer, so I’m not inventing one 🙈💖
