struct nothrow_t {};
(until C++11)struct nothrow_t { explicit nothrow_t() = default; };
(since C++11) (2)std::nothrow_t
is an empty class type used to disambiguate the overloads of throwing and non-throwing allocation functions. std::nothrow
is a constant of it.
#include <iostream> #include <new> int main() { try { while (true) { new int[100000000ul]; // throwing overload } } catch (const std::bad_alloc& e) { std::cout << e.what() << '\n'; } while (true) { int* p = new(std::nothrow) int[100000000ul]; // non-throwing overload if (p == nullptr) { std::cout << "Allocation returned nullptr\n"; break; } } }
Output:
