std::format_error::format_error

format_error( const std::string& what_arg );
(1)
format_error( const char* what_arg );
(2)
format_error( const format_error& other ) noexcept;
(3)
1) Constructs the exception object with what_arg as explanatory string. After construction, std::strcmp(what(), what_arg.c_str()) == 0.
2) Constructs the exception object with what_arg as explanatory string. After construction, std::strcmp(what(), what_arg) == 0.
3) Copy constructor. If *this and other both have dynamic type std::format_error then std::strcmp(what(), other.what()) == 0.

Parameters

what_arg - explanatory string
other - another exception object to copy

Exceptions

1,2) May throw std::bad_alloc.

Notes

Because copying std::format_error is not permitted to throw exceptions, this message is typically stored internally as a separately-allocated reference-counted string. This is also why there is no constructor taking std::string&&: it would have to copy the content anyway.

A derived standard exception class must have a publicly accessible copy constructor. It can be implicitly defined as long as the explanatory strings obtained by what() are the same for the original object and the copied object.

std::format_error::operator=

format_error& operator=( const format_error& other ) noexcept;

Assigns the contents with those of other. If *this and other both have dynamic type std::format_error then std::strcmp(what(), other.what()) == 0 after assignment.

Parameters

other - another exception object to assign with

Return value

*this

Notes

A derived standard exception class must have a publicly accessible copy assignment operator. It can be implicitly defined as long as the explanatory strings obtained by what() are the same for the original object and the copied object.
