runtime_error Class

The class serves as the base class for all exceptions thrown to report errors presumably detectable only when the program executes.

class runtime_error : public exception {
public:
    explicit runtime_error(const string& message);
    explicit runtime_error(const char *message);
};

Remarks

The value returned by exception Class is a copy of message.data.

Example

// runtime_error.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc /GR
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main( )
{
// runtime_error
   try 
   {
      locale loc( "test" );
   }
   catch ( exception &e ) 
   {
      cerr << "Caught " << e.what( ) << endl;
      cerr << "Type " << typeid( e ).name( ) << endl;
   };
}
