Template:cpp/error/sidebar

Defined in header <exception>
[[noreturn]] void terminate();

std::terminate() is called by the C++ runtime when exception handling fails for any of the following reasons:

1) an exception is thrown and not caught (it is implementation-defined whether any stack unwinding is done in this case)

2) an exception is thrown during exception handling (e.g. from a destructor of some local object, or from a function that had to be called during exception handling)

3) the constructor or the destructor of a static or thread-local object throws an exception

4) a function registered with Template:cpp or Template:cpp throws an exception

5) a noexcept specification is violated (it is implementation-defined whether any stack unwinding is done in this case)

6) a dynamic exception specification is violated and the default handler for Template:cpp is executed

7) a non-default handler for Template:cpp throws an exception that violates the previously violated dynamic exception specification, if the specification does not include Template:cpp

8) Template:cpp is called for an object that isn't holding a captured exception

9) an exception is thrown from the initial function of Template:cpp

10) a joinable Template:cpp is destroyed or copy-assigned to

std::terminate() may also be called directly from the program.


In any case, std::terminate calls the currently installed Template:cpp. The default Template:cpp calls Template:cpp.
