The header `<boost/throw_exception.hpp>` provides a common Boost infrastructure
|
|
for throwing exceptions, in the form of a function `boost::throw_exception`
|
|
and a macro `BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION`.
|
|
|
|
`boost::throw_exception(x);` is a replacement for `throw x;` that both
|
|
degrades gracefully when exception handling support is not available, and
|
|
integrates the thrown exception into facilities provided by
|
|
link:../../../exception/index.html[Boost.Exception], such as automatically
|
|
providing a base class of type `boost::exception` and support for
|
|
`boost::exception_ptr`.
|
|
|
|
When exception handling is not available, the function is only declared, but
|
|
not defined. This allows users to provide their own definition.
|
|
|
|
An overload for `boost::throw_exception` that takes a
|
|
link:../../../assert/doc/html/assert.html#source_location_support[`boost::source_location`]
|
|
is provided. It records the supplied source location into the `boost::exception`
|
|
base class, from where it can later be retrieved when the exception is caught.
|
|
link:../../../exception/doc/diagnostic_information.html[`boost::diagnostic_information`]
|
|
automatically displays the stored source location.
|
|
|
|
The macro `BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION(x)` expands to
|
|
`::boost::throw_exception(x, BOOST_CURRENT_LOCATION)`, passing the current source
|
|
location.
|
|
|
|
When integration with Boost.Exception and `boost::exception_ptr` is not needed,
|
|
the function `boost::throw_with_location` can be used instead. It also throws
|
|
a user-provided exception, associating it with a supplied or inferred source
|
|
location, but does not supply the `boost::exception` base class and does not
|
|
enable `boost::exception_ptr` support.
|
|
|
|
The source location of the exception thrown by `boost::throw_with_location`
|
|
can be retrieved, after `catch(std::exception const & x)`, by using
|
|
`boost::get_throw_location(x)`.
|
|
|
|
`boost::get_throw_location` also works for exceptions thrown by the two argument
|
|
overload of `boost::throw_exception`, or by `BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION`; in this case
|
|
it returns the source location stored in the `boost::exception` base class.
