Provides consistent interface to handle errors through the throw expression.

All exceptions generated by the standard library inherit from std::exception.

[edit] Standard exception requirements

Each standard library class T that derives from std::exception has the following publicly accessible member functions, each of them do not exit with an exception(until C++11)having a non-throwing exception specification(since C++11):

The copy constructor and the copy assignment operator meet the following postcondition:

  • If two objects lhs and rhs both have dynamic type T and lhs is a copy of rhs, then std::strcmp(lhs.what(), rhs.what()) is equal to 0.

The what() member function of each such T satisfies the constraints specified for std::exception::what().

[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 471 C++98 there was no requirement on standard library classes derived from std::exception added
