template< class T > [[noreturn]] void throw_with_nested( T&& t ); | (since C++11) |
If std::remove_reference_t<T> is a non-final non-union class type that is neither std::nested_exception nor derived from std::nested_exception, throws an exception of an unspecified type that is publicly derived from both std::nested_exception and from std::remove_reference_t<T>, and constructed from std::forward<T>(t). The default constructor of the nested_exception base class calls std::current_exception, capturing the currently handled exception object, if any, in a std::exception_ptr.
Otherwise, throws std::forward<T>(t).
Requires that std::remove_reference<T>::type is CopyConstructible.
Parameters
| t | - | the exception object to throw |
Return value
(none).
Example
Demonstrates construction and recursion through a nested exception object.
#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <exception>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
// prints the explanatory string of an exception. If the exception is nested,
// recurses to print the explanatory of the exception it holds
void print_exception(const std::exception& e, int level = 0)
{
std::cerr << std::string(level, ' ') << "exception: " << e.what() << '\n';
try {
std::rethrow_if_nested(e);
} catch(const std::exception& e) {
print_exception(e, level+1);
} catch(...) {}
}
// sample function that catches an exception and wraps it in a nested exception
void open_file(const std::string& s)
{
try {
std::ifstream file(s);
file.exceptions(std::ios_base::failbit);
} catch(...) {
std::throw_with_nested( std::runtime_error("Couldn't open " + s) );
}
}
// sample function that catches an exception and wraps it in a nested exception
void run()
{
try {
open_file("nonexistent.file");
} catch(...) {
std::throw_with_nested( std::runtime_error("run() failed") );
}
}
// runs the sample function above and prints the caught exception
int main()
{
try {
run();
} catch(const std::exception& e) {
print_exception(e);
}
}Output:
exception: run() failed exception: Couldn't open nonexistent.file exception: basic_ios::clear
