domain_error , invalid_argument , length_error , logic_error , out_of_range , overflow_error , range_error , runtime_error , underflow_error - defines several classes useful for reporting exceptions

Synopsis

   namespace std {
   class logic_error;
       class domain_error;
       class invalid_argument;
       class length_error;
       class out_of_range;

   class runtime_error;
       class range_error;
       class overflow_error;
       class underflow_error;
       };

Description

Include the standard header <stdexcept> to define several classes used for reporting exceptions. The classes form a derivation hierarchy, as indicated by the indenting above, all derived from class exception.

domain_error

   class domain_error : public logic_error {
   public:
       domain_error(const string& what_arg);
       };

The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report a domain error. The value returned by what() is a copy of what_arg.data().

invalid_argument

   class invalid_argument : public logic_error {
   public:
       invalid_argument(const string& what_arg);
       };

The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report an invalid argument. The value returned by what() is a copy of what_arg.data().

length_error

   class length_error : public logic_error {
   public:
       length_error(const string& what_arg);
       };

The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report an attempt to generate an object too long to be specified. The value returned by what() is a copy of what_arg.data().

logic_error

   class logic_error : public exception {
   public:
       logic_error(const string& what_arg);
       };

The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report errors presumably detectable before the program executes, such as violations of logical preconditions. The value returned by what() is a copy of what_arg.data().

out_of_range

   class out_of_range : public logic_error {
   public:
       out_of_range(const string& what_arg);
       };

The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report an argument that is out of its valid range. The value returned by what() is a copy of what_arg.data().

overflow_error

   class overflow_error : public runtime_error {
   public:
       overflow_error(const string& what_arg);
       };

The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report an arithmetic overflow. The value returned by what() is a copy of what_arg.data().

range_error

   class range_error : public runtime_error {
   public:
       range_error(const string& what_arg);
       };

The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report a range error. The value returned by what() is a copy of what_arg.data().

runtime_error

   class runtime_error : public exception {
   public:
       runtime_error(const string& what_arg);
       };

The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report errors presumably detectable only when the program executes. The value returned by what() is a copy of what_arg.data().

underflow_error

   class underflow_error : public runtime_error {
   public:
       underflow_error(const string& what_arg);
       };

The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report an arithmetic underflow. The value returned by what() is a copy of what_arg.data().
