Standard library header <exception>

This header is part of the error handling library.

Types

base class for exceptions thrown by the standard library components
(class)
(C++11)
a mixin type to capture and store current exceptions
(class)
exception thrown when std::current_exception fails to copy the exception object
(class)
(removed in C++17)
the type of the function called by std::unexpected
(typedef)
the type of the function called by std::terminate
(typedef)
(C++11)
shared pointer type for handling exception objects
(typedef)

Functions

(removed in C++17)
function called when dynamic exception specification is violated
(function)
(removed in C++20)(C++17)
checks if exception handling is currently in progress
(function)
(C++11)
creates an std::exception_ptr from an exception object
(function template)
(C++11)
captures the current exception in a std::exception_ptr
(function)
(C++11)
throws the exception from an std::exception_ptr
(function)
(C++11)
throws its argument with std::nested_exception mixed in
(function template)
(C++11)
throws the exception from a std::nested_exception
(function template)
function called when exception handling fails
(function)
(C++11)
obtains the current terminate_handler
(function)
changes the function to be called by std::terminate
(function)
(C++11)(removed in C++17)
obtains the current unexpected_handler
(function)
(removed in C++17)
changes the function to be called by std::unexpected
(function)
