7.1. Throwing an Exception
The exception handling facility consists of two primary components: the recognition and raising of an exception and the eventual handling of the exception. Typically, an exception is raised and handled within various member or nonmember functions. After an exception is raised, normal program execution is suspended. The exception handling facility searches for a portion of the program that is capable of handling the raised exception. After the exception has been handled, program execution resumes in the portion of the program that has handled the exception.
In C++, we raise an exception by using the throw expression:
inline void Triangular_iterator:: check_integrity() { if ( _index > Triangular::_max_elems ) throw ...Get Essential C++ now with the O’Reilly learning platform.
