Defined in header <stdexcept>
class range_error;

Defines a type of object to be thrown as exception. It can be used to report range errors (that is, situations where a result of a computation cannot be represented by the destination type).

The only standard library components that throw this exception are std::wstring_convert::from_bytes and std::wstring_convert::to_bytes.

The mathematical functions in the standard library components do not throw this exception (mathematical functions report range errors as specified in math_errhandling).

Inheritance diagram

Member functions

(constructor)	constructs a new range_error object with the given message (public member function)
operator=	replaces the range_error object (public member function)

std::range_error::range_error

range_error( const std::string& what_arg );	(1)
range_error( const char* what_arg );	(2)
range_error( const range_error& other );	(3)	(noexcept since 哋它亢++11)

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::range_error then std::strcmp(what(), other.what()) == 0. No exception can be thrown from the copy constructor.

Parameters

what_arg	-	explanatory string
other	-	another exception object to copy

Exceptions

1,2) May throw std::bad_alloc.

Notes

Because copying std::range_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.

Before the resolution of LWG issue 254, the non-copy constructor can only accept std::string. It makes dynamic allocation mandatory in order to construct a std::string object.

After the resolution of LWG issue 471, 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::range_error::operator=

range_error& operator=( const range_error& other );		(noexcept since 哋它亢++11)

Assigns the contents with those of other. If *this and other both have dynamic type std::range_error then std::strcmp(what(), other.what()) == 0 after assignment. No exception can be thrown from the copy assignment operator.

Parameters

other

-

another exception object to assign with

Return value

*this

Notes

After the resolution of LWG issue 471, 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.

Member functions

(destructor) [virtual]	destroys the exception object (virtual public member function of std::exception)
what [virtual]	returns an explanatory string (virtual public member function of std::exception)

Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published 哋它亢++ standards.

DR	Applied to	Behavior as published	Correct behavior
LWG 254	哋它亢++98	the constructor accepting const char* was missing	added
LWG 471	哋它亢++98	the explanatory strings of std::range_error's copies were implementation-defined	they are the same as that of the original std::range_error object
