| − | ===Explanation===
| |
| − | :{{small|See {{rlp|throw | throw exceptions}} for more information about throw-expressions}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A try-block is a {{rlp|statements|statement}}, and as such, can appear anywhere a statement can appear (that is, as one of the statements in a compound statement, including the function body compound statement). See {{rlp|function-try-block}} for the try blocks around function bodies. The following description applies to both try-blocks and {{rlp|function-try-block}}s.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The formal parameter of the catch clause ({{spar|type-specifier-seq}} and {{spar|declarator}} or {{spar|type-specifier-seq}} and {{spar|abstract-declarator}}) determines which types of exceptions cause this catch clause to be entered. It cannot be an {{rlp|reference|rvalue reference type}}, {{rlp|abstract class}}, {{rlp|incomplete type}}, or pointer to incomplete type (except that pointers to (possibly {{rlp|cv}}-qualified) {{c|void}} are allowed). If the type of the formal parameter is array type or function type, it is treated as the corresponding pointer type (similar to {{rlp|function|function declration}})
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When an exception of type {{tt|E}} is thrown by any statement in {{spar|compound-statement}}, it is matched against the types of the formal parameters {{tt|T}} of each catch-clause in {{spar|handler-seq}}, in the order in which the catch clauses are listed. The exception is a match if any of the following is true:
| |
| − | * {{tt|E}} and {{tt|T}} are the same type (ignoring top-level cv-qualifiers on {{tt|T}})
| |
| − | * {{tt|T}} is an lvalue-reference to (possibly cv-qualified) {{tt|E}}
| |
| − | * {{tt|T}} is an unambiguous public base class of {{tt|E}}
| |
| − | * {{tt|T}} is a reference to an unambiguous public base class of {{tt|E}}
| |
| − | * {{tt|T}} is a (possibly cv-qualified) pointer or a reference to a (possibly cv-qualified) pointer, and {{tt|E}} is also a pointer, which is implicitly convertible to T either by
| |
| − | :* a standard {{rlp|implicit_cast|pointer conversion}}
| |
| − | :* a {{rlp|implicit_cast|qualification conversion}}
| |
| − | * {{tt|T}} is a pointer or a pointer to member (or a reference to such pointer), while {{tt|E}} is {{lc|std::nullptr_t}}.

| − | {{source|
| |
| − | try {
| |
| − | f();
| |
| − | } catch(const std::overflow_error& e) {
| |
| − | // this executes if f() throws std::overflow_error (same type rule)
| |
| − | } catch(const std::runtime_error& e) {
| |
| − | // this executes if f() throws std::underflow_error (base class rule)
| |
| − | } catch(const std::exception& e) {
| |
| − | // this executes if f() throws std::logic_error (base class rule)
| |
| − | } catch(...) {
| |
| − | // this executes if f() throws std::string or int or any other unrelated type
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | }}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The catch-all clause {{c|catch(...)}} matched exceptions of any type. If present, it has to be the last catch clause in the {{spar|handler-seq}}. Catch-all block may be used to ensure that no uncaught exceptions can possibly escape from a function that offers {{rlp|exceptions|nothrow exception guarantee}}.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If no matches are found after all catch-clauses were examined, the exception propagation continues to the containing try-block, as described in {{rlp|throw|throw-expression}}. If there are no containing try-blocks left, {{lc|std::terminate}} is executed.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When entering a catch clause, if its formal parameter is a base class of the exception type, it is {{rlp|copy_initialization|copy-initialized}} from the base class subobject of the exception object. Otherwise, it is copy-initialized from the exception object (this copy is subject to {{rlp|copy elision}}).
| |
| − | {{source|1=
| |
| − | try {
| |
| − | std::string("abc").substr(10); // throws std::length_error
| |
| − | // } catch( std::exception e ) { // copy-initialization from the std::exception base
| |
| − | // std::cout << e.what(); // information from length_error is lost
| |
| − | // }
| |
| − | } catch( const std::exception& e ) { // reference to the base of a polymorphic object
| |
| − | std::cout << e.what(); // information from length_error printed
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | }}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If the parameter of the catch-clase is a reference type, any changes made to it are reflected in the exception object, and can be observed by another handler if the exception is rethrown with {{c|throw;}}. If the parameter is not a reference, any changes made to it are are local and its lifetime ends when the handler exits.

| |
| − | Within a catch-clause, {{lc|std::current_exception}} can be used to capture the exception in an {{lc|std::exception_ptr}}, and {{lc|std::throw_with_nested}} may be used to build nested exceptions.}}

| |
| − | ===Notes===
| |
| − | The throw-expression {{c|throw NULL;}} is not matched by a pointer catch clause, because the exception object type is {{c|int}}, but {{c|throw nullptr;}} is matched by any pointer or pointer-to-member catch clause.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If a catch-clause for a derived class is placed after the catch-clause for a base class, the derived catch-clause will never be executed.
| |
| − | {{source|1=try {
| |
| − | f();
| |
| − | } catch(const std::exception& e) {
| |
| − | // will be executed if f() throws std::runtime_error
| |
| − | } catch(const std::runtime_error& e) {
| |
| − | // dead code!
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | }}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If {{rlp|goto}} is used to exit a try-block and if any of the destructors of block-scoped automatic variables that are executed by the {{tt|goto}} throw exceptions, those exceptions are caught by the try blocks in which the variables are defined:
| |
| − | {{source|1=
| |
| − | label: try {
| |
| − | T1 t1;
| |
| − | try {
| |
| − | T2 t2;
| |
| − | if(condition)
| |
| − | goto label; // destroys t2, then destroys t1, then jumps to label
| |
| − | } catch(...) { } // catches the exception from the destructor of t2
| |
| − | } catch(...) { } // catches the exception from the destructor of t1
