std::bad_exception is the type of the exception thrown by the C++ runtime in the following situations:

1) If a dynamic exception specification is violated and std::unexpected throws or rethrows an exception that still violates the exception specification, but the exception specification allows std::bad_exception, std::bad_exception is thrown.

2) If std::exception_ptr stores a copy of the caught exception and if the copy constructor of the exception object caught by current_exception throws an exception, the captured exception is an instance of std::bad_exception.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <exception>
#include <stdexcept>
 
void my_unexp() { throw; }
 
void test() throw(std::bad_exception)
{
    throw std::runtime_error("test");
}
 
int main()
{
    std::set_unexpected(my_unexp);
    try {
         test();
    } catch(const std::bad_exception& e)
    {
        std::cerr << "Caught " << e.what() << '\n';
    }
}
