std::throw_with_nested
From cppreference.com
Defined in header <exception>

||
template< class T > [[noreturn]] void throw_with_nested( T&& t ); |
(since C++11) (constexpr since C++26) |
|
If std::decay<T>::type 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::decay<T>::type, 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::decay<T>::type is CopyConstructible.

[edit] Example
Demonstrates construction and recursion through a nested exception object.
Run this code
#include <exception> #include <fstream> #include <iostream> #include <stdexcept> #include <string> // prints the explanatory string of an exception. If the exception is nested, // recurses to print the explanatory string 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& nestedException) { print_exception(nestedException, 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); } }
Possible output:
exception: run() failed exception: Couldn't open nonexistent.file exception: basic_ios::clear
