std::overflow_error - cppreference.com

Defines a type of object to be thrown as exception. It can be used to report arithmetic overflow errors (that is, situations where a result of a computation is too large for the destination type).

The mathematical functions of the standard library components do not throw this exception (mathematical functions report overflow errors as specified in math_errhandling). Third-party libraries, however, use this. For example, boost.math throws std::overflow_error if boost::math::policies::throw_on_error is enabled (the default setting).

All member functions of std::overflow_error are constexpr: it is possible to create and use std::overflow_error objects in the evaluation of a constant expression.

However, std::overflow_error objects generally cannot be constexpr, because any dynamically allocated storage must be released in the same evaluation of constant expression.

(since C++26)

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::overflow_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 Notes

Because copying std::overflow_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::overflow_error::operator=

overflow_error& operator=( const overflow_error& other );

(noexcept since C++11)
(constexpr since C++26)

Assigns the contents with those of other. If *this and other both have dynamic type std::overflow_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.

    }
 
    st.push(1337);
    while (!st.empty())
    	st.pop();
 
    try
    {
        st.pop();
    }
    catch (std::underflow_error const& ex)
    {
        std::cout << "2) Exception: " << ex.what() << '\n';
    }
 
    try
    {
        for (int i{}; i != 13; ++i)
            st.push(i);
    }
    catch (std::overflow_error const& ex)
    {
        std::cout << "3) Exception: " << ex.what() << '\n';

Output:

1) Exception: Stack is empty!
2) Exception: Stack underflow!
3) Exception: Stack overflow!
[edit] Defect reports

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

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