Synopsis

class bad_typeid : public exception {
public:
  bad_typeid(  ) throw(  );
  bad_typeid(const bad_typeid&) throw(  );
  bad_typeid& operator=(const bad_typeid&) throw(  );
  virtual ~bad_typeid(  ) throw(  );

The typeid operator throws bad_typeid when it is applied to an expression of the form *p, in which p is a null pointer. See typeid in Chapter 3 for more information.
