Defined in header <stdexcept>
class underflow_error;

Defines a type of object to be thrown as exception. It may be used to report arithmetic underflow errors (that is, situations where the result of a computation is a subnormal floating-point value).

The standard library components do not throw this exception (mathematical functions report underflow errors as specified in math_errhandling). Third-party libraries, however, use this. For example, boost.math throws std::underflow_error if boost::math::policies::throw_on_error is enabled (the default setting).

std::underflow_error::underflow_error

underflow_error( const std::string& what_arg );
(1)
underflow_error( const char* what_arg );
(2)
underflow_error( const underflow_error& other );
(3) (noexcept since C++11)
1) Constructs the exception object with what_arg as explanatory string. After construction, std::strcmp(what(), what_arg.c_str()) == 0.
2) Constructs the exception object with what_arg as explanatory string. After construction, std::strcmp(what(), what_arg) == 0.
3) Copy constructor. If *this and other both have dynamic type std::underflow_error then std::strcmp(what(), other.what()) == 0. No exception can be thrown from the copy constructor.

Parameters

what_arg - explanatory string
other - another exception object to copy

Exceptions

1,2) May throw std::bad_alloc.

Notes

Because copying std::underflow_error is not permitted to throw exceptions, this message is typically stored internally as a separately-allocated reference-counted string. This is also why there is no constructor taking std::string&&: it would have to copy the content anyway.

Before the resolution of LWG issue 254, the non-copy constructor can only accept std::string. It makes dynamic allocation mandatory in order to construct a std::string object.

After the resolution of LWG issue 471, a derived standard exception class must have a publicly accessible copy constructor. It can be implicitly defined as long as the explanatory strings obtained by what() are the same for the original object and the copied object.

std::underflow_error::operator=

underflow_error& operator=( const underflow_error& other );
(noexcept since C++11)

Assigns the contents with those of other. If *this and other both have dynamic type std::underflow_error then std::strcmp(what(), other.what()) == 0 after assignment. No exception can be thrown from the copy assignment operator.

Parameters

other - another exception object to assign with

Return value

*this

Notes

After the resolution of LWG issue 471, a derived standard exception class must have a publicly accessible copy assignment operator. It can be implicitly defined as long as the explanatory strings obtained by what() are the same for the original object and the copied object.

[edit] Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
LWG 254 C++98 the constructor accepting const char* was missing added
LWG 471 C++98 the explanatory strings of std::underflow_error's
copies were implementation-defined
they are the same as that of the
original std::underflow_error object
