Detailed Description

       Base class for all library exceptions.

       This is the base class for all exceptions thrown by the standard library, and by certain
       language expressions. You are free to derive your own exception classes, or use a
       different hierarchy, or to throw non-class data (e.g., fundamental types).

Member Function Documentation

   virtual const char * std::exception::what () const [virtual],  [noexcept]
       Returns a C-style character string describing the general cause of the current error.

       Reimplemented in std::ios_base::failure, std::bad_alloc, std::bad_any_cast,
