std::invalid_argument - cppreference.com

Defines a type of object to be thrown as exception. It reports errors that arise because an argument value has not been accepted.

This exception is thrown by std::bitset::bitset, and the std::stoi and std::stof families of functions.

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

However, std::invalid_argument 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::invalid_argument

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::invalid_argument 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::invalid_argument::operator=

invalid_argument& operator=( const invalid_argument& 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::invalid_argument 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.

Inherited from std::exception Member functions destroys the exception object
(virtual public member function of std::exception) [edit] returns an explanatory string
(virtual public member function of std::exception) [edit] [edit] Notes

The purpose of this exception type is similar to the error condition std::errc::invalid_argument (thrown in std::system_error from member functions of std::thread) and the related errno constant EINVAL.

[edit] Example
#include <bitset>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    try
    {
        std::bitset<4>{"012"}; // Throws: only '0' or '1' expected
    }
    catch (std::invalid_argument const& ex)
    {
        std::cout << "#1: " << ex.what() << '\n';
    }
 
    try
    {
        [[maybe_unused]] int f = std::stoi("ABBA"); // Throws: no conversion
    }
    catch (std::invalid_argument const& ex)
    {
        std::cout << "#2: " << ex.what() << '\n';
    }
 
    try
    {
        [[maybe_unused]] float f = std::stof("(3.14)"); // Throws: no conversion
    }
    catch (std::invalid_argument const& ex)
    {
        std::cout << "#3: " << ex.what() << '\n';
    }
}

Possible output:

#1: bitset string ctor has invalid argument
#2: stoi: no conversion
#3: stof: no conversion
[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::invalid_argument's
copies were implementation-defined they are the same as that of the
original std::invalid_argument object
