runtime_error Class
The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report errors presumably detectable only when the program executes.
Syntax
class runtime_error : public exception {
public:
explicit runtime_error(const string& message);
explicit runtime_error(const char *message);
};
Remarks
The value returned by what() is a copy of message.data(). For more information, see what and data.
Example
// runtime_error.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <exception>
#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
#include <typeinfo>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
try
{
locale loc("test");
}
catch (const exception& e)
{
cerr << "Caught: " << e.what() << endl;
cerr << "Type: " << typeid(e).name() << endl;
}
}
/* Output:
Caught: bad locale name
Type: class std::runtime_error
*/
