Example
#include <thread>
#include <iostream>
#include <system_error>
int main()
{
try {
std::thread().detach(); // attempt to detach a non-thread
} catch(const std::system_error& e) {
std::cout << "Caught system_error with code " << e.code()
<< " meaning " << e.what() << '\n';
}
}Output:
Caught system_error with code generic:22 meaning Invalid argument
