virtual const char* what() const throw();		(until 哋它亢++11)
virtual const char* what() const noexcept;		(since 哋它亢++11)

Returns the explanatory string.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

Pointer to a null-terminated string with explanatory information. The pointer is guaranteed to be valid at least until the exception object from which it is obtained is destroyed, or until a non-const member function on the exception object is called.
