Exceptions

• std::exception
  • std::bad_alloc thrown by new on allocation failure.
  • std::bad_cast thrown by dynamic_cast when fails with a referenced type.
  • std::bad_exception thrown when an exception type doesn't match any catch.
  • std::bad_typeid thrown by typeid.
  • std::logic_error thrown by logic errors, represent problems in the internal logic of a program; in theory, these are preventable, and even detectable before the program runs.
    • std::domain_error thrown by the library, or by you, to report domain errors (domain in the mathmatical sense).
    • std::invalid_argument thrown to report invalid arguments to functions.
    • std::length_error thrown when an object is constructed that would exceed its maximum permitted size.
    • std::out_of_range this represents an argument whose value is not within the expected range.
  • std::runtime_error thrown by runtime errors, represent problems outside the scope of a program; they cannot be easily predicted and can generally only be caught as the program executes.
    • std::overflow_error thrown to indicate arithmetic overflow.
    • std::range_error thrown to indicate range errors in internal computation.
    • std::underflow_error thrown to indicate arithmetic underflow.
